Amazon Studios has ordered a pilot for “The Horror of Dolores Roach”, based on the hit Gimlet podcast, with The Purge: Anarchy‘s Justina Machado set to star in the title role, reports Deadline.
Roxann Dawson is attached to direct and executive produce the pilot, which hails from Blumhouse Television, which won the rights to adapt the podcast in 2019 in a competitive situation, and Spotify.
“Written and directed by podcast creator Aaron Mark, ‘The Horror of Dolores Roach’ originally was developed by Mark as a one-woman play starring Daphne Rubin-Vega. It is a grotesque ‘Sweeney Todd’-inspired tale of eat or be eaten — a macabre urban legend of love, betrayal, weed, gentrification, cannibalism and survival of the fittest.”
“‘Magic Hands’ Dolores Roach (Machado) is released from prison after 16 years and returns to a severely gentrified Washington Heights with $200 and the clothes on her back. With her boyfriend missing, her family long gone and her apartment now occupied by strangers, Dolores finds respite in the dilapidated storefront Empanada Loca around the corner — the only remnant of her former life.”
Mark penned the pilot script and will executive produce alongside Home Before Dark co-creator Dara Resnik and Rubin-Vega. Jason Blum, Chris McCumber and Jeremy Gold of Blumhouse Television and Chris Giliberti and Justin McGoldrick of Spotify also will executive produce.
