As the only witness to a terrifying event, Poe quickly learns that her only ally is John Creasy (Abdul-Mateen).

- From 1972 to 1978, thirty-three young men were kidnapped, murdered and buried in a crawl space beneath the house of their killer, John Wayne Gacy (Chernus), who went undetected for years because he was charming and funny, had a good, all-American job, was a community leader and even volunteered to entertain sick kids... while dressed as a clown.

AMAZON's EL GATO
- Eric Lange and Alfonso Dosal have been cast as series regulars on the upcoming drama starring Diego Boneta. Lange previously starred in the second season of Netflix's Narcos, in the Showtime limited series Escape at Dannemora, in the Netflix limited series Unbelievable and for two seasons in HBO's Perry Mason. Dosal starred for three seasons in Netflix's Narcos: Mexico.
- Lange will play Simon Casimir aka The Nazarite, an ascetic, monk-like warrior. He was long burdened with the sins he committed as the country's top assassin - until he was offered a shot at redemption. Focused on atoning for his past, Simon called himself "The Nazarite" (like Samson, in the Bible). The Nazarite has strength far beyond that of an ordinary man. He believes this power is God-given, a reward for his strict vows of self-denial, but the truth is more complicated. He is a terrifying force of nature, but he is also damaged and sympathetic - a tragic hero. Somewhere between Doc Holliday, Don Quixote and the Jackal. This season will test his faith.
- Dosal will play Alejandro Guerrero, the interim CEO of a billion-dollar family-owned agriculture business. He is shrewd and Oxford-educated. He leads a lavish lifestyle but takes little pleasure in it. Though he is technically our hero's nephew, the pair are more like estranged brothers and rivals. The strain of a troubled marriage and corporate intrigue have exacerbated Alejandro's insecurities. In the season, his ambition and the jealousy he bears for his "uncle," push him past his fears and lead him down a treacherous path.
PEACOCK's TWISTED METAL

To the winner, he offers the prize of making their greatest wish come true, but with Calypso there's always a twist.
