LOVECRAFT COUNTRY: HBO Sets August Launch

LOVECRAFT COUNTRY will debut on Sunday, August 16, HBO announced.

The drama, based on the 2016 novel by Matt Ruff of the same name, “follows Atticus Freeman (Jonathan Majors) as he journeys with his childhood friend Letitia (Jurnee Smollett) and his uncle George (Courtney B. Vance) on a road trip from Chicago across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father Montrose (Michael Kenneth Williams). Their search-and-rescue turns into a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and monstrous creatures that could be ripped from an H.P. Lovecraft paperback.”

The series also stars Aunjanue Ellis, Abbey Lee, Jada Harris, and Wunmi Mosaku, with recurring guests including Jamie Chung, Jamie Neumann, Jordan Patrick Smith, and Tony Goldwyn.

 LOVECRAFT COUNTRY is executive produced by Misha Green (who also is the showrunner), J.J. Abrams, Jordan Peele, Bill Carraro, Yann Demange (who also directed Episode 1), Daniel Sackheim (who also directed Episodes 2 and 3), and David Knoller (executive producer on Episode 1).
