Today, I get to sit down with iconic actress Pam Grier. From playing the legendary Foxy Brown to starring in Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown, Grier is one of the most important and recognizable faces in American cinema. Brown now stars in Them: The Scare, the terrifying second season of Prime Video’s Them horror anthology series from creator Little Marvin.
Now Brown takes the time to talk to me all about her pivotal role in the show, the crippling power of fear, and her recent exploration of the horror genre at large. Check out my exciting conversation with Pam Grier below.
Them: The Scare 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. Pam Grier stars as Dawn’s mother, an important role that pushes the legendary actress to new emotional and physical extremes.
Check out my interview with Pam Grier here:
The cast for Them: The Scare also includes Deborah Ayorinde (Riches, Harriet) as “Detective Dawn Reeve,” Joshua J. Williams (Cloak & Dagger, Mudbound), Jeremy Bobb (The Continental, God’s Country), Wayne Knight (Seinfeld, Narcos), and Grammy-nominated musician and actor Luke James (The Chi, Insecure) as “Edmund Gaines.”
The terrifying new season begins tomorrow, April 25th, on Prime Video!
