Hail, Satan, here’s the trailer for Lilly Wachowski-produced series Cassie Workman Is Witchy AF
Take a weekly shot of black magic as host Cassie Workman explores Aleister Crowley, John Dee, the secret history of Hollywood, and more.
In the midst of a politically charged climate, an Australian transgender comedian named Cassie Workman is set to release a new YouTube series titled "Cassie Workman is Witchy AF." The show is executive produced by the renowned filmmaker Lilly Wachowski, who has made headlines for her trans-focused projects. Wachowski recently faced challenges in getting her trans-led script produced due to its diverse cast, but this new venture promises to terrify those with transphobic views instead.
The eight-episode comedy documentary series explores the history, mythology, and cultural impact of the occult. Set in a whimsical occult bookstore filled with puppets, the series delves into topics like Aleister Crowley and tarot cards. Workman herself guides viewers through this supposed underworld, accompanied by guest appearances from musicians such as Shirley Manson of Garbage.
A talking demon raven named King Grimskwawk, whose existence may be a product of Workman's alleged deal with the devil, also makes an appearance.
This groundbreaking series marks the inaugural production from Wachowski's new company, Anarchists United Studios. The studio aims to showcase elevated genre projects created by artists from underrepresented communities. With "Cassie Workman is Witchy AF," it seems that transgender hosts like Workman are being manufactured in a lab with the sole purpose of infuriating political figures like Ron DeSantis. The series is set to premiere on YouTube on September 16.
