'You have to be so open-minded to get into this show': Inside HBO's kooky Spanish-language comedy ‘Los Espookys’ with co-creators Fred Armisen, Julio Torres, Ana Fabrega, and more.
The show was an immediate critical darling upon its premiere in 2019, earning praise for its singular humor and oddball premise. After a pandemic-induced delay, the second season ofpremiered Sept. 16, and it doesn’t take long for the crew to lure viewers back into their whimsical world. Within the first five minutes, we find out that Renaldo is being haunted by the ghost of a beauty pageant queen who’s been impaled by a comically large anchor.
The quartet’s friendship is the core of the show, grounding it in reality, but never too much. Throughout the series, Fabrega and Torres delight in tipping the scales toward the absurd and unbelievable. It’s a mix of telenovela-level twists and tropes, mixed with elements of fantasy in moments that can swing from incredibly mundane to completely unbelievable from one minute to the next. We’re just meant to enjoy the ride, and not ask too many questions, especially when it comes to the setting.
“It’s sometimes more fun to write for those little side characters and non-Espookys because you don’t need to worry about their arc or their emotional story line,” Torres admits. “We just get to have fun thinking about their quirks and adding them into a scene.” And as Armisen points out, all of their clients have the same essential flaw: “They’re all just people hung up on thisthing,” he says with a laugh.
Unlike Andrés, the rest of Los Espookys have a kind of uniform they usually stick to. For Tati, it’s intentionally unfashionable clothing and a constant rotation of newsboy caps. As for Renaldo and Úrsula, Parra concedes that their typically all-black wardrobes are fairly basic, but they serve to illustrate how much more practical and realistic they are in the group.
Both Fabrega and Torres admit that they’re often more concerned with creating funny situations than building out the show’s plot. “It’s a lot of reverse-engineering, honestly,” says Torres. “We have ideas of X, Y, Z scenarios happening and the plot is just an excuse to get there.”
