Little Marvin, writer and executive producer of Amazon’s upcoming original series Them: Covenant, and his production company Odd Man Out, has signed an overall deal with Amazon Studios. As part of the deal, Odd Man Out will create and produce original series and films for Amazon Studios to premiere exclusively on Prime Video in over 200 countries and territories.

Written by Little Marvin, the 1950’s-set Them: Covenant centers on Henry and Lucky Emory, who decide to move their family from North Carolina to an all-white Los Angeles neighborhood. The family’s home on a tree-lined, seemingly idyllic street becomes ground zero where malevolent forces both real and supernatural threaten to taunt, ravage and destroy them.
