The one-hour drama series based on the 2016 novel by Matt Ruff, follows Atticus Black as he joins his friend Letitia and his Uncle George to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father. What follows is a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the terrifying monsters that could be ripped from an H.P. Lovecraft paperback.
You in??? I'm in!!! The Lovecraft Country cast includes Michael Kenneth Williams (HBO’s The Wire and Boardwalk Empire) as Atticus’ father, Montrose Freeman and Courtney B. Vance (HBO’s The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, American Crime Story) as Atticus’ uncle George Freeman. Atticus himself will be played by Jonathan Majors (When We Rise).
Joining Williams, Vance and Majors, are Jurnee Smollett-Bell (HBO’s True Blood, Underground, Friday Night Lights) as Letitia “Leti” Lewis; Wunmi Mosaku (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) as Leti’s half-sister Ruby Baptiste; Aunjanue Ellis (When They See Us) as Atticus’ aunt and George’s wife, Hippolyta Freeman; Jamie Harris (Kingdom) as county sheriff Eustice Hunt; Abbey Lee (Mad Max: Fury Road) as Christina Braithwhite; Jamie Chung (Once Upon a Time) as Ji-Ah; and Jordan Patrick Smith (Vikings) as William.
Along with Jordan Peele (Get Out) and J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker) as executive producers will be showrunner Misha Green (Underground), director of the first episode Yann Demange (‘71), director Daniel Sackheim (HBO’s Game of Thrones and True Detective), Ben Stephenson and Bill Carraro. The series is produced by Bad Robot Productions and Monkeypaw Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
