25 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Of 2019
12. Lovecraft Country
Who: Misha Green (showrunner); Jordan Peele, J.J. Abrams (exec producers); Jonathan Majors, Elizabeth Debicki, Michael K. Williams
What: Based on the 2016 book by Matt Ruff, Lovecraft Country follows Atticus Black (Majors) on a road trip across Jim Crow-era America in an effort to find his missing father, battling the very human racist terrors of the time, but also the Lovecraftian spirits that inspired its title
Why: The book was critically acclaimed, especially for mixing together horror with its tackling of racial issues, which is something Get Out did brilliantly too, so Peele should be on solid footing here. Adding Lovecraft into that mix should mean things get pretty weird too, and there's a fascinating, potent mix at work here.
Where & When: HBO, TBC
