ストーリー
In 'Lovecraft Country', we follow Atticus Freeman (Jonathan Majors), a war veteran returning home to Chicago in the 1950s. His father, Montrose (Michael Kenneth Williams), has gone missing while searching for a mysterious book called the 'Sunken Place'. Atticus joins forces with his childhood friend Letitia (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) and his Uncle George (Courtney B. Vance), who is an expert on the supernatural tales of H.P. Lovecraft, to embark on a road trip across Jim Crow America in search of Montrose.
As they journey south, they encounter racist terrors perpetrated by white Americans, including a sinister cult called 'The Order of the Silver Twilight'. Meanwhile, they also face terrifying monsters and otherworldly beings that seem ripped from Lovecraft's stories. Along the way, they uncover secrets about their family's history and Montrose's true fate.
Atticus discovers he has inherited his father's mysterious abilities to communicate with supernatural entities, which attracts the attention of various sinister forces seeking to exploit this power. The trio must navigate these dangerous threats while also confronting the harsh realities of racial discrimination during this period.

概要
'Lovecraft Country' is a horror-drama series that blends the cosmic horror elements inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's works with the real-life horrors of racism in 1950s America. The story follows Atticus Freeman, a young African-American man who embarks on a journey to find his missing father while encountering supernatural terrors and racial injustices.
Set against the backdrop of Jim Crow laws and segregation, the series explores themes of racism, identity, and the search for belonging. It challenges Lovecraft's reputation for racist undertones by centering a predominantly African-American cast and placing them at the heart of his otherworldly horrors. 'Lovecraft Country' stands out as a unique and chilling take on the horror genre, weaving together historical context with supernatural suspense.
