Amazon's The Horror of Dolores Roach and NBC's Untitled Coburn/Wootton.
AMAZON's THE HORROR OF DOLORES ROACH
- Alejandro Hernandez, Kita Updike and K. Todd Freeman will co-star on the drama pilot starring Justina Machado. Hernandez has previously recurred on NBC's New Amsterdam and CBS' Instinct. Updike was heard in the Spotify podcast the pilot is based on. Freeman starred for three seasons in Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
- Hernandez will play Luis, the charismatic, self-professed neglected culinary visionary behind the dilapidated storefront Empanada Loca in Washington Heights. Harboring a crush on Dolores (Machado) from 16 years ago when he bought weed from her, he's eager to give her room and board when she returns from prison until she gets back on her feet. Their relationship is taken to the next level when she accidentally-on-purpose kills someone in the basement and Luis creatively helps dispose of the body.
- Updike will play Nellie Morris, the kind, confident and no-nonsense teenager who works behind the Empanada Loca counter and lives upstairs with her agoraphobic grandmother. Nellie and Dolores develop a friendship, as Nellie finds herself in a burgeoning romance with the landlord's son.
- Freeman will play Jeremiah, the man who spends his days standing outside of Empanada Loca holding the door for people for change, and his nights underground in a corner of an abandoned NYC subway tunnel with a community known to some as "Mole People." Aloof and ever-present, he keeps a close eye on Dolores.
