Before Baena’s latest creation, he directed Life After Beth, Joshy, The Little Hours, and Horse Girl. Within his projects, Baena has developed a few frequent collaborators, some of which will star in AMC’s Spin Me Round. Those stars include Plaza, Shannon, Ryan, and Brie, who also co-wrote the psychological thriller Horse Girl with Baena in 2020. This comedy looks to combine Baena’s comedic and thrilling elements, as Spin Me Round promises to be a getaway with a real trip.

The new trailer for Spin Me Round kicks off with Amber (Brie) winning an all-expense paid trip to Italy for being a top manager at the Tuscan Grove restaurant. Shortly after she arrives in Italy, Amber meets the company’s CEO Nick Martucci (Nivola) and his assistant Kat (Plaza), who turn her world upside down. The breathtaking scenery of Florence begins to take an interesting turn as Amber begins to experience a trend of strange occurrences, including Kat at her bedside, ordering her to get dressed. As Amber begins a romantic entanglement with Nick, Spin Me Round’s trailer suggests he might be hiding some dark secrets about his business and lifestyle.

Throughout the trailer, Amber is pulled deeper and deeper into Nick’s business circle, where she encounters a number of Nick’s friends and business associates. Each of them have ambiguous things to say, as one calls himself “a repository for Nicky’s dirty secrets.” The whirlwind Italian trip continues to take a turn for the worst, as Dana (Woods) approaches Amber, warning her that he thinks something is amiss. Amber is seen threatening someone or something with a broken bottle and hiding under the bed while a hand drops over the side.

The most alarming piece of Spin Me Round’s trailer is Amber’s discovery of a book titled News of a Kidnapping, which suggests the all-expense paid program could be a ruse for something more. When paired with the repetition of the phrase that Amber is “very open-minded,” what the top Tuscan Grove managers have been sent to Italy for becomes a question that may have a few sinister answers. Spin Me Round’s trailer also suggests that it’ll be difficult to know exactly who to trust, leaving room for a Knives Out-like twist.

There is a shroud of mystery that hangs over the trailer for Spin Me Round and is sprinkled within its comedy. After noticing Nick is in his study late at night, Fran (Tom Heidecker) and Dana joke that it’s like a game of Clue, and that he’s murdering Colonel Mustard with a lead pipe. While they laugh it off, the uncertainty of the trailer suggests that there could be more truth to their joke than they may want to let on.

Spin Me Round releases in theaters and VOD on August 19, 2022.
