The 10-episode series, which was based on and served as a continuation of the 2016 novel of the same name by Matt Ruff, follows Atticus Freeman as he journeys with his childhood friend Letitia and his uncle George on a road trip from Chicago across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father, Montrose. 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 book.
The series starred Jonathan Majors, Jurnee Smollett, Courtney B. Vance, Aunjanue Ellis, Wunmi Mosaku, Abbey Lee, Jamie Chung, Jada Harris, and Michael K. Williams. Lovecraft Country was executive produced by Green, Get Out’s Jordan Peele, J.J. Abrams, and Bad Robot TV boss Ben Stephenson.
