HBO’s newest drama series Lovecraft Country will premiere this August, and the first trailer dropped today!
Based on Matt Ruff’s novel by the same name, the show “follows Atticus Freeman (Jonathan Majors) as he joins up with his friend Letitia (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) and his Uncle George (Courtney B. Vance) to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father (Michael Kenneth Williams). This begins a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the terrifying monsters that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback.”
Lovecraft Country is executive-produced by series creator and showrunner Misha Green, Jordan Peele (via his Monkeypaw Productions), J. J. Abrams (via his Bad Robot Productions), and Ben Stephenson.
HBO is yet to announce the official August release date. Watch the full trailer above.
