Coming completely out of left field, this summer HBO released brand new Spanish-language horror-comedy series called “Los Espookys”. After completing its inaugural season, HBO has ordered a second season for 2020.
The half-hour, six-episode series was created by several individuals, including “Portlandia’s” Fred Armisen and Lorne Michaels of “Saturday Night Live”, with Julio Torres and Ana Fabrega.
“Los Espookys” follows a group of friends who turn their love for horror into a peculiar business.
“Those friends, known as Los Espookys, are led by Bernardo Velasco as Renaldo. Cassandra Ciangherotti plays Ursula, a calm and collected dental assistant who provides teeth for the group’s monsters. Ana Fabrega stars as Tati, Ursula’s sister and Los Espookys’ test dummy. Julio Torres plays Andres, Renaldo’s best friend, a dark and mysterious heir to a chocolate empire whose only true nemesis is his gorgeous boyfriend. Armisen’s Tico is Renaldo’s reliable uncle who lives in LA and is a prodigious valet driver living his dream of parking cars.” (Variety)
