have worked together, extending their creative relationship from two seasons on WGN’s historical drama “Underground” to HBO’s buzzy horror series, based on the novel of the same name by Matt Ruff. The show is executive produced by Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams.
“And I just would just do the ‘canary scream’ to win all the time, which would frustrate [Jurnee],” Green recalls. “So, it was like, ‘It’s kind of kismet and funny that you’re now Black Canary because I was using that character to beat you with this game.’” If “Lovecraft Country” is any evidence, Green knows how to execute on that promise. The 10-episode series centers on Atticus Freeman , a Korean War veteran with a love for sci-fi author H.P. Lovecraft, who ventures across the 1950s Jim Crow South in search of his father . With his uncle George and friend Letitia “Leti” Lewis in tow, Atticus encounters horrors both supernatural and man-made; with regards to the latter, the threat is, specifically, white supremacy.
And with historical context to boot. In “Lovecraft Country’s” first episode, Atticus, Leti and George are subject to racist segregation-era “sundown town” laws that prohibited Black Americans from being in certain majority white municipalities by sundown — only to encounter Lovecraftian vampires thereafter.
