Great Trailer For J.J. Abrams and Jordan Peele's HBO Horror Drama Series LOVECRAFT COUNTRY
HBO has released the first trailer for the awesome looking new horror drama series Lovecraft Country. The series is based on the 2016 novel by Matt Ruff and it’s being produced by J.J. Abrams and Jordan Peele. Misha Green (Underground, Sons of Anarchy, Heroes) is the driving force behind the series as the executive producer and showrunner.
The series 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.
I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this series when I first heard about it, but now that I’ve seen the trailer, I’m all in! This is going to be a thrilling and fascinating story to watch unfold. I was not expecting what this trailer offered.
The ensemble cast also includes Wunmi Mosaku (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) as Ruby Dandridge, Aunjanue Ellis (If Beale Street Could Talk) as Hippolyta Black, Abbey Lee (Mad Max: Fury Road) as Christina Braithwhite, Tony Goldwyn (Scandal) as Samuel Braithwhite, Jamie Harris (Rise of the Planets of Apes) as Eustace Hunt, Jamie Chung (The Gifted) as Ji-Ah, Jordan Patrick Smith as William, Jamie Neumann as Hillary, Erica Tazel as Dora Freeman, and Mac Brandt as Lancaster.
Misha Green serves as showrunner on Lovecraft country and it was directed by Yann Demange, Daniel Sackheim, and David Knoller. Now, watch the trailer!
