Asfans of the bookalready know , Lovecraft Country is set in Jim Crow - era America and follows Atticus Black ( Jonathan Majors ) as he navigates both rearing racism and supernatural horrors on a route trip ( joined by Courtney B. Vance as his uncle and Jurnee Smollet - Bell as his longtime ally ) to track down his forefather ( Michael Kenneth Williams ) . This quest also digs into Atticus ’ complicated family background , involving a sinister cult , the mysteries of the universe , and some very powerful magical forces .
This drone looks like the series will captivate all the admiration and threat of the book with some sum up element , too — and now we really ca n’t hold off to feast our eye on this one . fortuitously , the wait ’s not long now : Lovecraft Country hit HBO on August 16 .
