Julio Torres is back with more wacky adventures in the new HBO comedy series Fantasmas premiering Friday, June 7 at 11 p.m. Et/Pt. New episodes of the six-episode season will debut weekly.
Fantasmas—a title very on-brand for Torres following Los Espookys—follows the character of Julio (Torres) as he goes in search of a precious oyster earring. Across his journey, he 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.

Julio Torres is stepping into a very literal and gender-swapped “Girl With a Pearl Earring” rendition for HBO.
The “Los Espookys” creator is back at the network with new surreal series “Fantasmas,” which he created, directed, and stars in. The series debuted at the Atx TV Festival earlier this year.
Torres plays a fictionalized version of himself as he tries to uncover a lost gold oyster earring. In his search to find the precious object, Torres’ character Julio reflects on the offbeat folks he encounters in introspective, eerie, and comedic vignettes set in a dreamy, alternate version of New York City. The surreal series is billed as a “fantastical six-part tale” that is a “kaleidoscope of color” to “weave together stories of people looking for meaning, purpose, and connection in an increasingly isolating world.”
In addition to Torres, the cast includes Martine Gutierrez, Tomas Matos, and Joe Rumrill as the voice of Bibo.

Like most rising star comics today, looking to further build their audience while reaping due rewards for their work, Joe Pera is self-releasing his latest special, Joe Pera: Slow & Steady, taking it directly to YouTube. Taped to a packed house at The Opera House of Williamsburg on June 15th, his new hour will premiere on Friday, October 6th at 8:00pm Et, exclusively on his YouTube channel @JoePeraComedy.
