The first trailer for new HBO comedy series Fantasmas has just dropped, featuring an amazing cast including Dylan O’Brien, Steve Buscemi, Paul Dano, Julia Fox, Alexa Demie, Emma Stone, Aidy Bryant, Bowen Yang – not to mention musician Kim Petras as a mermaid, and Ziwe.
Fantasmas is a story about Julio, who has somehow lost a gold oyster earring, and is on a quest to recover it. Whilst embarking on this journey:
Julio reflects on the offbeat characters he encounters in introspective, often eerie, and always comedic vignettes set in a dreamy, alternate version of New York City.
A kaleidoscope of color and surrealism, Fantasmas weaves together stories of people looking for meaning, purpose, and connection in an increasingly isolating world.
The comedy series was written by Julio Torres (Problemista and HBO’s Los Espookys), who you might guess stars as Julio. Check out the trailer below:
This trailer looks so weird and off-beat that I’m not really sure what to think of it right now, but I may end up watching it purely because Steve Buscemi.
The series premieres on Friday 7th June at 11pm on HBO, and new episodes will air weekly.
