Watch the New Trailer for the HBO’s Series LOVECRAFT COUNTRY, Executive Produced by Misha Green, J.J. Abrams, and Jordan Peele

Ever since it was announced back in 2017 that Misha Green, Jordan Peele, and J.J. Abrams were teaming up to executive produce an adaptation of Matt Ruff's novel Lovecraft Country for HBO, we've been excited to see this series. And now we get a much better look at the series thanks to a new trailer release ahead of its August premiere:

"HBO’s new drama series, LOVECRAFT COUNTRY, based on the 2016 novel by Matt Ruff of the same name, debuts this August. 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.

LOVECRAFT COUNTRY is executive produced by Misha Green, who also serves as 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); based on the novel by Matt Ruff.
