A kaleidoscope of color and surrealism, FANTASMAS weaves together stories of people looking for meaning, purpose, and connection in an increasingly isolating world.
The series stars Torres, Martine Gutierrez, Tomas Matos, and Joe Rumrill, with guest apearances from Steve Buscemi, Paul Dano, Julia Fox, Alexa Demie, Emma Stone, Aidy Bryant, Bowen Yang, Kim Petras, and Ziwe.
Fantasmas premieres on Max on June 7th.
