A private detective is one of Cyndi Lauper’s next roles. In the forthcoming Prime Video series The Horror of Dolores Roach starring Lauper, Variety reports that Lauper has been cast. There is a Broadway theatre usher and private detective who is played by Lauper in the series, Ruthie. This contains Henry & Me (directed by Barrett Esposito), Here and There (directed by Darko Lungulov), and The Opportunists (directed by Darko Lungulov in 1999). (directed by Myles Connell).
Justina Machado and Alejandro Hernandez will play Dolores Roach and Luis, respectively, in the show. Kita Updike, K. Todd Freeman, Marc Maron, Jean Yoon, Judy Reyes, and Jeffery Self will also appear in the series. After 16 years in prison, Dolores will be the focus of the new series. Her options are limited, so she decides to move in with her buddy Luis. Luis allows Dolores to perform massages in the basement of his Empanada Loca business to help her generate money.
Because of this, Luis and Dolores’s connection becomes increasingly symbiotic and hazardous. A team led by Aaron Mark and Dara Resnik will run the show. Mark created and directed the Gimlet podcast series, which is based on this film. Resnik’s prior work includes Home Before Dark, Daredevil, and I Love Dick on Apple TV+, Netflix, and Prime Video. Roxann Dawson directed the pilot episode.
Breakthrough, Apple TV+’s Foundation, and Showtime’s Penny Dreadful: City of Angles are among Dawson’s previous directing credits. In addition, Dawson will serve as an executive producer on the film. GloNation Studios’ Gloria Galderón Kellet will serve as the show’s executive producer. Jason Blum, Chris McCumber, and Jeremy Gold will also serve as executive producers for Blumhouse Television. Spotify has hired Daphne Rubin-Vega, Dawn Ostroff, Mimi O’Donnell, and Justin McGoldrick to serve as executive producers. Eight episodes will make up the season. We “fell in love with this tale along with everyone else,” Amazon Studios’ chief of development Marc Resteghini previously stated of the series.
As a team, “we couldn’t be more delighted and lucky to work with such world-class creatives to bring Dolores Roach to screen in what is likely to be a compelling series.” The release date for The Horror of Dolores Roach on Amazon Prime Video has not yet been confirmed.
