The Horror of Dolores Roach is an eight-episode series based on the Gimlet podcast of the same name. It follows Dolores Roach (Machado), a recently released prisoner who returns to her home to find it gentrified, with her boyfriend missing and her family gone. The only proof of her former life is the rundown storefront called Empanada Loca. Dolores reunites with an old friend, Luis, who gives her a place to stay and make some cash. Soon, Dolores' newfound stability is threatened, and Dolores takes drastic measures to protect her success while Luis reveals his own strange inclinations.
Aaron Mark, creator of the podcast, serves as writer, director, executive producer, and co-showrunner of the TV series. Dara Resnik acts as co-showrunner and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Daphne Rubin-Vega; Blumhouse Television's Jason Blum, Jeremy Gold, and Chris McCumber; Spotify Studios' Dawn Ostroff, Justin McGoldrick, and Mimi O'Donnell; Gloria Calderón Kellett for GloNation Studios; and Roxann Dawson, who will direct the pilot episode.
