TheDesperadoactor (and film producer) stars in ‘Joan is Awful’, one of the five new episodes in the dystopian anthology series.When asked about the character in the newepisode, Hayek claimed it was a
“once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play an interpretation of myself.”
In the new episode, a lady named Joan (played by Annie Murphy fromSchitt’s Creek) realizes that her life has been made into a TV program on a global streaming service, with A-lister Salma Hayek playing her.
“I got to explore the concepts and clichés people have about me and be self-deprecating. It’s as if I created an alter ego where I could do the most disgusting, grotesque things that you would never do in real life… and have permission to do that. There are so many moments that shocked me in the script. There is one huge one that I had to come to terms with, and that made me ask myself, ‘Do I really want to do this? Am I going to get in trouble?'”

Hayek co-stars withAnnie MurphyandMichael Cerain a twisty story about an ordinary woman named Joan (Murphy) who discovers that her life is being turned into a prestige television drama on the worldwide streaming platform ‘Streamberry’, which is a fun Netflix spoof. Both Murphy’s Joan and Hayek’s Salma are eventually shown to be one of many computer-generated replicas of someone else in a parallel timeline, leveraging the ‘digital likeness’ of another’s appearance – in this case, Hayek’s and Murphy’s faces.
