However the screenplay, production values, and the performances of Ayorinde, Thomas, and Wright Joseph received widespread acclaim. A second season, titled Them: The Scare, is in development, with Ayorinde returning from the first season. Premise Set in 1953, Them follows a black family which moves from North Carolina to an all-white neighborhood in Los Angeles during the Second Great Migration.
