About Poor Devil
Stan, he’s an ordinary kid except for the fact that he’s the Antichrist. In addition, he has just turned 665 months. There is a month left for the prophecy to be fulfilled and it has to fulfill its destiny: plunge humanity into horror and chaos, and bring Armageddon. But he’s more interested in singing and dancing in a Broadway musical.
Joaquín Reyes plays Stan, the protagonist of POBRE DIABLO, and Ernesto Sevilla takes on the role of Mephisto, a hedonistic demonic cat and addicted to any drug whose job is to buy souls, who is also Stan’s godfather. The cast of voices is completed, among others, Ignatius Farray, as Satan; Gakian, as Samael, a demon specialized in possessions, and Verónica Forqué as Rose.
Miguel Salvat, Executive Producer of HBO Max, said: “We all know people who have had to make the decision to join the family business or follow in their parents’ footsteps. POOR DEVIL, he obviously takes this to the extreme and does it in a really fun way, following the rich tradition of WarnerMedia adult animations. I hope that many people instantly fall in love with Stan and his demon cat «.
