Lilly Wachowski’s Occult TV Show Cassie Workman Is Witchy AF Wraps Production

ComingSoon is exclusively confirming that principal photography on The Matrix director Lilly Wachowski‘s upcoming occult documentary series Cassie Workman Is Witchy AF has officially been completed on March 29. This marks Wachowski’s first TV project in a long while, after previously serving as the showrunner on Showtime’s comedy-drama Work in Progress, which lasted for two seasons from 2019-2021. The announcement comes on both International Transgender Day of Visibility and exactly 26 years after The Matrix came out.

The docuseries will be led by transgender woman Cassie Workman, who is a comedian, writer, actor, and musician from Australia best known for her heartfelt and emotive storytelling, her incisive wit, and brutal deconstructions of the status quo. It is executive produced by Wachowski and Sarah Marie Flores for Anarchists United, Will Battersby and Philip Gelatt for Etch Productions, and Lawrence Mattis for Circle Management + Production.

What is Cassie Workman Is Witchy AF about?

“Cassie Workman Is Witchy AF is an adult comedic documentary series that explores the history and philosophy of occultism and magic,” reads the official logline. “Using puppetry created by Direct Message and practical SFX make-up from Monster in My Closet (Smile 2, Hocus Pocus), the show is set in a fictional occult bookstore owned by the show’s creator and host Cassie Workman who leads us through a world of ritual magic, identity, demons, tarot, love, death and possible salvation. It covers such topics as Aleister Crowley, John Dee, the secret history of Hollywood, and Santa Muerte.”

In addition to producing, Etch Productions also financed the project. The series is directed by Hannah Welever, with Frederic Fasano serving as its director of photography. It was shot entirely on location in Asbury Park, NJ at the Wolfe & Kron bookstore and Asbury’s oldest gay bar Georgies.
