The comedy comes from the minds of Saturday Night Live alum Fred Armisen, Saturday Night Live writer Julio Torres, and At Home with Amy Sedaris performer Ana Fabrega. All three writer/actors are Latinx; Armisen’s mother is from Venezuela, Torres is Salvadoran, and Fabrega’s family is from Panama. Out of reverence for that shared heritage, the entire series is filmed in Spanish and comes equipped with English subtitles. When someone is speaking English, Spanish subtitles pop up to remind you Espookys is relentlessly bilingual.
