Amazon developing the podcast The Horror of Dolores Roach as a TV series

Deadline

Amazon is teaming with Blumhouse to adapt the Gimlet Media podcast The Horror of Dolores Roach, described as "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," per Deadline. "It follows the indomitable Dolores Roach, who returns to a New York City neighborhood that has changed drastically during the sixteen years she has been in prison. Her boyfriend missing, her family long gone, Dolores is recognized only by an old stoner friend, Luis, who gives Dolores room and board and lets her give massages for cash in the basement apartment under his dilapidated empanada shop." Home Before Dark co-creator Dara Resnik will adapt the podcast alongside podcast creator Aaron Mark.
