The Horror of Dolores Roach drops trailer for Sweeney Todd-inspired series
The Horror of Dolores Roach, a modern dark comedy inspired by Sweeney Todd, has released its first trailer from Prime Video.
Based on a Spotify podcast series, the show will follow a woman named Dolores who is released from prison after 16 years, returning to the now-gentrified Washington Heights.
She struggles to get a job and get her life back on track, until her friend Luis convinces her to start a masseuse business in the basement of his empanada shop.

Her stability is threatened when a man comes in and harasses the duo about running an illegal business, before he sits down for a massage. This is the moment events take a turn as his hands start to wander and in a brief moment of anger, Dolores kills him.
She's understandably terrified by what she's done and panics about how she's going to dispose of the body without getting caught, and that's where Luis comes in with his Sweeney Todd-esque plan. Use his flesh as filling for his empanadas.
Although Dolores swears she will never kill anyone again, she soon sets down the path of being a serial killer. But how long can the duo keep going until they are found out? There's eight episodes of the series, so place your bets on when things hit the fan now.
The series stars Jane the Virgin and Six Feet Under's Justina Machado, New Amsterdam's Alejandro Hernandez, A Series of Unfortunate Events and Buffy the Vampire Slayer's K Todd Freeman, comedian Marc Maron, Batwoman and Florida Man's Judy Reyes, Search Party's Jeffery Self, Kim's Convenience's Jean Yoon, and Kita Updike from the podcast.
The Horror of Dolores Roach comes to Prime Video on July 7.
