Los Espookys!HBO’s idiosyncratic horror-comedy returns this week after three years, “espookier” than ever. The pandemic may have halted production on season two, but the beloved series is back without missing a beat, following the eponymous Los Espookys gang as they create more homemade horrors on demand, all while facing demons of their own—sometimes literally.For queer creators and stars Julio Torres and Ana Fabrega, the new season was an opportunity to dig deeper into their world, more confident in their vision than ever before.

It also gave them space to explore new sides of their brilliant ensemble: The enigmatic Andrés (Torres), the flighty Tati (Fabrega), the pragmatic Úrsula (Cassandra Ciangherotti), the big-hearted Renaldo (Bernardo Velasco), and his idealist uncle Tico (Fred Armisen, also a series co-creator).Ahead of the premiere, Queerty sat down with Torres and Fabrega to unpack the journey ahead.

The pair touched on the “refrigerated treat” of a new season, what it means for Los Espookys to be labeled a “queer show,” and shared the stories behind two of the season’s splashiest guest roles.Queerty: Ana, you’ve previously said that the second season of Los Espookys feels “much more mature.” How would you say the show has grown and evolved in the three years since season one?Ana Fabrega: Going into the second season, we just knew the show better, we knew our characters better, we knew the world better.

And it all just led to, I think, a much stronger season. With the first season, we made the pilot not knowing if the series would get picked up, so we had one idea of what the show was going to be.
