How to watch Them online: stream every episode of new Amazon Prime Video show now

You, Us, IT, and now Them – proof that there’s something terrifying about pronouns. Amazon Prime Video’s new horror anthology series will deliver a different setup each season, with Them: Covenant providing the opening salvo of episodes about a Black family in 1950s America defending their home from apple-pie loving racists AND malevolent spirits. It looks like nail-biting stuff, and we detail below how to watch Them online.

This 10-part instalment evokes modern horror classics like Get Out and Us, although it's more akin to Lovecraft Country in directly confronting America’s prejudiced past.

Deborah Ayorinde plays Livia Emory, a young mother in search of a better life, who's recently moved from North Carolina to California with her husband Henry and their two children. But they get a hostile reception from their Caucasian neighbors, whose lily-white figurehead Betty (Alison Pill) tries to drive them from her suburban idyll.

Henry Emory (Top Boy’s Ashley Thomas) is a WWII veteran oppressed by the double-standard of the all-white workplace, while daughter Ruby is cruelly taunted at school. Yet at home something equally troubling is unfolding: a supernatural force which only their youngest Gracie can perceive - like a creepy performer in blackface with bloodshot eyes.

Also featuring True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten, Them: Covenant delivers edge-of-your-seat thrills, sterling performances, and an unvarnished depiction of mid-20th century race relations in America. So, read on as we detail how to watch Them online, and for FREE if you’re a new or returning Amazon Prime Video customer.
