*Fans of singer/actor Luke James have taken to social media to praise his terrifying performance in Prime Video’s horror anthology series Them: The Scare.
This second installment will consist of eight episodes and premiered on Thursday, April 25, 2024, in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Per the news release: THEM will once again be set in Los Angeles (the first installment, subtitled Covenant, took place in Compton circa 1952 but will move the time frame forward to 1991). The story centers on LAPD Homicide Detective Dawn Reeve, who is assigned to a new case: the gruesome murder of a foster home mother that has left even the most hardened detectives shaken. Navigating a tumultuous time in Los Angeles, with a city on the razor’s edge of chaos, Dawn is determined to stop the killer. But as she draws closer to the truth, something ominous and malevolent grips her and her family…
The series cast includes Deborah Ayorinde (Riches, Harriet) as “Detective Dawn Reeve,” Pam Grier (Foxy Brown, Bones, Ghost of Mars, Jackie Brown) as “Athena,” Grammy-nominated musician and actor Luke James (The Chi, Insecure) as “Edmund Gaines.” Rounding out the cast are Joshua J. Williams (Cloak & Dagger, Mudbound), Jeremy Bobb (The Continental, God’s Country), Wayne Knight (Seinfeld, Narcos), Carlito Olivero (This Is Me… Now, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions), Charles Brice (Homeland, The Blacklist, Watchmen), and Iman Shumpert (The Chi).
Luke’s character is a pizza shop worker aspiring to become an actor. As Ice Cream Convos reports, he grapples with a multitude of internal demons that manifest in unexpected and unfathomable ways. Below are some of the reactions to Luke’s performance via Ice Cream Convos:
