Amazon’s Them Season 2 Cast & Character Guide

Amazon Prime Video’s Them: The Scare offers a suspenseful and eerie mystery, and it also boasts an impressive cast to help deliver its intense story and scenes. Them: The Scare is the second season of one of Amazon Prime Video’s best horror shows. As an anthology, it features a returning actor in a new role. Along with that returning actor, though, also comes a whole host of new, talented actors that work together to make Them: The Scare‘s suspenseful, supernatural story work.

Them season 1 featured plenty of scary moments, and Them: The Scare continues that trend. The new season follows Dawn Reeve, a police detective in Los Angeles, as she investigates a gruesome murder that quickly becomes the first in a killing spree. That killing spree also takes a toll on Dawn and her family, and the case’s supernatural elements start seeping into their lives.
