ANA FABREGA:Like a month and a half or so?
FRED ARMISEN:And we never knew [when we’d start up again].
Every month was like, “We might come back next month.
Bernardo Velasco on ‘Los Espookys’.Pablo Arellano Spataro/HBO
We might try for September.”
You know how it all went [during the pandemic].
FABREGA:No, we kept everything as is.

There was no need to recast a single part.
When last we saw Tati, she had just married cookie magnate Juan Carlos [Jose Pablo Minor].
She becomes a successful author, surprisingly enough.

So that photo is of Tati at a conference for women in literature.
[Her marriage to Juan Carlos] is a deeply troubling relationship.
It starts out very wholesome and sweet.

And then things escalate.

Fred, how does he come to join the group?
He takes on different occupations.
His daughter, she’s very hard on him.
But it’s a relationship that works for them.
TORRES:They’re caught in a cycle for sure.
What’s ahead for him in season 2?
TORRES:Predictably, he’s having a hard time adapting to the quote-unquote real world.
Is she in danger this season?
He’s putting up all these silhouettes of women around town on government signs.
Is there anything else you’d like to preview for this season?
TORRES:The show continues to beat its own drum.
I feel like the things that people liked about the first season are magnified here in the second.
FABREGA:It feels like a much more mature version of season 1.
Everything has grown deeper, and that’s what I love about it.
Will we ever learn where the show takes place?
ARMISEN:I think it’s better if we don’t.
It’s just like a fictional place that exists.
Season 2 ofLos Espookyspremieres Friday, Sept. 16, at 11 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.
