65 The Horror of Dolores Roach: Season 1

Horror/Dramedy series debuts July 7 on Prime Video

Based on the scripted Gimlet Media podcast of the same name, Blumhouse's horror dramedy stars Justina Machado as a convict who gains her release after serving a 16-year prison sentence. She finds work in her old (and now gentrified) Washington Heights neighborhood as a masseuse in the basement of a friend's empanada shop, but things quickly take a turn for the worse—to the point where there may be a bit of cannibalism involved. The Sweeney Todd-inspired series comes (like both the podcast and the one-woman play, Empanada Loca, that inspired it) from Aaron Mark and also stars Alejandro Hernandez, Kita Updike, K. Todd Freeman, Jean Yoon, Cyndi Lauper, Judy Reyes, and Marc Maron. All eight episodes will be available to stream at once.
