A new supernatural thriller series is coming to Netflix, promising a heady blend of horror, humour, and Nineties nostalgia.

The stylish-looking eight-part series stars Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel) as Lisa, an aspiring film director whose career gets derailed after she’s abused by the very producer she sought advice from.

Looking for a means of revenge, Lisa puts her trust in a tattoo artist and witch (Get Out star Catherine Keener) who promises to help set the producer’s life “on fire”. However, things begin to go wrong very quickly.

According to the series synopsis, “an aspiring film director in the sun-drenched but seamy world of 1990 Los Angeles embarks on a mind-altering journey of supernatural revenge”.
