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. The series weaves together stories of people looking for meaning, purpose and connection in an increasingly isolating world.

Fans can expect guest stars aplenty including Steve Buscemi, Paul Dano, Julia Fox, Alexa Demie, Emma Stone, Aidy Bryant, Bowen Yang, Kim Petras and Ziwe, to tease a few.

Fantasmas is also executive produced by Emma Stone and Dave McCary for Fruit Tree, Alex Bach and Daniel Powell for Irony Point and Olivia Gerke for 3 Arts; co-executive produced by Ali Herting.
