Lovecraft Country

This HBO original series, by executive producers J.J. Abrams and Jordan Peele, is based on a book by Matt Ruff, and is created by Misha Green.

It follows Atticus Freeman (Jonathan Majors) as he meets up with his friend Letitia (Jurnee Smollett) 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 terrifying monsters, as if becomes clear that there's something supernatural at play.
