DATES
Produced by “Saturday Night Live’s” Fred Armisen and Lorne Michaels, “Los Espookys” premieres on HBO on June 14 at 11 p.m. ET/PT. The six-episode, mostly Spanish-language series follows a group of friends who turn their love for horror into a business, giving out scares to people who need them.

Jacobsen, JT Neal, Bryana Salaz and Jeremy Howard, and follows the teens’ summer adventures, launching on June 3.
