Daniel Pemberton (Spider-Man: Into/Across the Spider-Verse, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Enola Holmes, Steve Jobs, Birds of Prey) and Adem Ilhan ((Avenue 5, In the Loop, The Ballad of Wallis Island, The Beautiful Game) have teamed up to score the new HBO original documentary series The Mortician. The show is directed by Joshua Rofé (Sasquatch, Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed) and centers on the Lamb Funeral Home in Pasadena that hid behind a façade of decency and propriety to take advantage of loved ones at their most vulnerable moments in the early 1980s. The 3-parter features interviews with families of the funeral home’s victims, former employees, as well as David Sconce, scion of the Lamb family, newly released from prison, who tells his side of the story. Rofé is also executive producing the Number 19 & Strong Baby production with Steven J. Berger (Lorena, Summer of 8), Jonah Hill & Matt Dines (Stutz, Overcompensating), as well as Nancy Abraham & Lisa Heller (I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, McMillions) and Tina Nguyen (Wild Wild Space, Chimp Crazy). The Mortician will premiere next Sunday, June 1 on HBO and will also be available to stream on HBO Max.
