'They/Them' trailer features Kevin Bacon as the leader of a creepy conversion therapy camp

The conversion therapy camp thriller, which debuts Aug. 5 on Peacock, is led by Kevin Bacon and nonbinary actor Theo Germaine.

In the first teaser trailer for Blumhouse Productions' “They/Them,” Kevin Bacon runs a conversion therapy camp meant to help queer teens “find a new sense of freedom.”

As if that wasn’t already a terrifying premise, a masked killer begins to stalk and murder the teens, who are also subjected to cruel “treatments” by the camp’s staff that are meant to cure them of being LGBTQ. The campers, led by a trans and nonbinary teen named Jordan (Theo Germaine), have to work together to protect themselves and dig into the camp’s past, according to a news release.

The film — pronounced they-slash-them as a shoutout to the slasher film genre — will stream exclusively starting Aug. 5 on Peacock, the streaming service of NBC Universal, parent company of NBC News. 

Germaine, who also starred in Netflix’s “The Politician,” told Entertainment Weekly that Jordan doesn’t “have a very positive relationship with their family, and they’re out, and they’re like, this is who I am.” 

“They want to legally emancipate themselves, and they make a deal with their parents, which is that they go to this conversion camp for a week, and if it doesn’t work, their parents will get out of the way and make it easy for them to separate,” said Germaine, who is nonbinary and uses gender-neutral pronouns.
