HBO reveals premiere date and trailer for new comedy series Fantasmas

Julio Torres returns with more wacky adventures in the new HBO comedy series Fantasmas. Fantasmas – a well-branded title for Torres after Los Espookys – follows the character Julio (Torres, pictured) as he searches for a precious oyster earring. Along his journey, he reflects on the unusual characters he meets in introspective, often creepy and always comedic vignettes set in a dreamy, alternate version of New York City.



The series interweaves stories of people searching for meaning, purpose and connection in an increasingly isolated world. Torres is the creator, director, executive producer and lead actor of the series.

He is joined in the cast by Martine Gutierrez as Vanesja, Tomas Matos as Chester and Joe Rumrill as the voice of Bibo. Fans can expect many guest stars, including Steve Buscemi, Paul Dano, Julia Fox, Alexa Demie, Emma Stone, Aidy Bryant, Bowen Yang, Kim Petras and Ziwe, to name a few.

The series premieres on HBO on Friday, June 7 at 11 p.m. New episodes of the six-part season will be released weekly.

Fantasmas is also produced by Emma Stone and Dave McCary for Fruit Tree, Alex Bach and Daniel Powell for Irony Point and Olivia Gerke for 3 Arts. Ali Herting is co-executive producer.
