“Los Espookys” is created and written by Armisen, Ana Fabrega and Julio Torres. Michaels executive produces along with Alice Mathias and Andrew Singer. Nate Young is a co-executive producer. Fernando Frias directed the pilot. Broadway Video produces in association with Antigravico, Mas Mejor and Fabula.

Below, read HBO’s character descriptions:

Bernardo Velasco stars as Renaldo, the leader of Los Espookys. He’s noble, kind, serene and obsessed with gore. He’s always running out of cellphone minutes.

Cassandra Ciangherotti is Ursula, a calm and collected dental assistant. She provides teeth for the group’s monsters. She loves horror and her sister Tati but above all, teeth.
