How to watch Lovecraft Country live stream online from anywhere

Just as it did last year with Watchmen, HBO’s new original series Lovecraft Country will give viewers a much different look at America’s past and the struggles faced by African Americans during segregation. The new series is set in the mid-1950s and will follow Atticus Freeman (played by Jonathan Majors) as he travels across the country searching for his father Montrose after returning home from the Korean War.

Fantasy fiction-loving Atticus begins his journey in the Jim Crow South and then travels to his hometown in the south side of Chicago where he recruits his uncle George (played by Courtney B. Vance) and his childhood friend Letitia (played by Jurnee Smollett) to join him on his adventure. However, the group’s search and rescue turns into a struggle to survive both the racist terrors of white America and a variety of different monstrous creatures that could be taken straight from an H.P. Lovecraft novel.

If the name Lovecraft Country sounds familiar, that is because the new series is based on Matt Ruff’s 2016 novel of the same name. The show will likely appeal to fans of Jordan Peele’s Get Out and J.J. Abrams’ Cloverfield as they both served as executive producers for the show alongside Bill Carraro, Yann Demange, Daniel Sackheim, David Knoller and Misha Green who is also Lovecraft Country’s showrunner.

Whether you’ve already read Matt Ruff’s novel or are just looking for a new series to watch on Sundays, we’ll show you how to watch Lovecraft Country online or on TV from anywhere in the world.
