What is Julio Torres's upcoming Fantasmas series all about?
Fantasmas follows the story of Julio, who is on his way to find a lost precious gold oyster earring. During 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." The show is a kaleidoscope of color and surrealism, weaving together stories of people searching for meaning, purpose, and connection in an increasingly isolating world.
Alongside Julio Torres, the series stars Martine Gutierrez (Vanesja), Tomas Matos (Chester), and Joe Rumrill (the voice of Bibo). The show also features A-list guest stars, including Julia Fox, Alexa Demie, Emma Stone, Aidy Bryant, Bowen Yang, Steve Buscemi, Paul Dano, Kim Petras, and Ziwe.

Julio Torres shares what inspired him to create this six-part episode series
In a previous interview with Entertainment Weekly, Julio Torres opened up about the inspiration behind his upcoming HBO series Fantasmas, shedding light on what drove him to create it and the creative process behind building its imaginative set.
He shared with the outlet, “It was complete heaven. One of the best things I heard was someone on set referred to it as a group art project, which I take as the highest compliment. Everyone put so much of themselves into it. I like creating sandboxes for people to come and build something together and dream big."
The director continued, "But also at the same time, there’s a sort of joyful resilience that comes with being scrappy and making a lot with very little. Some of the budget conversations were like, ‘Okay, this set will not have walls or a floor, so we have to convey a room without walls or a floor.’ But they were all very exciting limitations.”
Fantasmas premieres on HBO on 7 June 2024 at 11 p.m. ET/PT and will also be available for streaming on Max.
