But as she draws closer to the truth, something ominous and malevolent grips her and her family… “With THEM: The Scare, we wanted to combine our love of horror with a look at Los Angeles’s rich history and evolution,” says creator, executive producer and showrunner Little Marvin. “This second installment is a new story set in the 90’s, one of the most iconic decades for film, music and fashion, particularly in Los Angeles. I’m also excited about our amazing cast: Deborah Ayorinde returns as a completely new character, Luke James delivers an unforgettable performance and the legendary Pam Grier, who has played so many iconic and beloved roles on screen, makes her return to horror…. We couldn’t have asked for a more fearless group to lead this second installment.”

Deborah Ayorinde's Most Fulfilling & Taxing Role Ever This woman deserves all the awards and accolades for certain… An Emmy,  a Golden Globe, a Critics Choice, whatever it is, go on and give them to her. Deborah Ayorinde stars in the upcoming Amazon horror anthology series. “Them” as Livia “Lucky” Emory, a wife and mother who experiences unspeakable terrors during the 1950’s. First in the family’s home in the South; then after their migration to a white Los Angeles neighborhood where residents are far from welcoming.

Deborah Ayorinde Stars In Amazon Original

Amazon just released the teaser & key art to their new terror anthology series “Them;” from Little Marvin & executive producer Lena Waithe, premiering April 9th exclusively on Prime Video. The first season follows a 1950’s Black family who moves from North Carolina to an all-white neighborhood in Los Angeles; as part of The Great Migration. For the folks who watched “Lovecraft Country” this might already sound a little bit like Leti and Ruby’s move into the haunted mansion; but we are already certain comparisons will also be drawn to Jordan Peele’s ‘US’. Not just because there’s an obvious play between the words ‘US’ & “Them” but also because Shahadi Wright Joseph; who starred as the daughter in ‘US’ is also one of the daughter’s on “Them.” 

In a recent interview with BOSSIP Sr. Content Director Janeé Bolden spoke with Deborah Ayorinde about her role & how the project affected her mental health; as well as why it was important for her to take on the part despite the trauma. “I had to get therapy afterward & during the process; because to be honest with you it was the most fulfilling but also most taxing role I’ve ever done”; Ayorinde told BOSSIP. “So I had to take care of my heart and take care of my spirit, you know what I mean?” The film reveals the horrors of racism in multiple contexts, putting Lucky and her family through a nightmarish sequence of events.
