Lovecraft\u2019s monster mythology, in case that would spoil too much of HBO\u2019s upcoming Lovecraft Country, but suffice it to say, one look at the tentacled beast in the show\u2019s new full trailer, released ahead of the series\u2019s virtual Comic-Con panel on Saturday, will tell you our protagonists are up against something cosmically scary.<br \/>\nBased on the titular book by Matt Ruff, Jonathan Majors starts in Lovecraft Country as Atticus Black, a horror and sci-fi fan who sets off across Jim Crow America with his uncle George, played by Courtney B. Vance, and childhood friend Leti, portrayed by Jurnee Smollett-Bell, to find his father, currently in the company of some exceedingly weird strangers. Any genre story worth its salt will tell you nothing good will come from trading your humanity for ultimate power. But if that didn\u2019t convince you, maybe those giant grotesque batwings will. Lovecraft Country is set to premiere on HBO next month on August 16.\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 5px;padding-top: 5px\" align=\"center\"><strong>Related Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_21886\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dvamPJp17Ds?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-timeline\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LovecraftHBO?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by LovecraftHBO<\/a> <\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 5px;padding-top: 5px\" align=\"center\"><strong>Style to wear<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id='sa_invalid_postid'>Slide Anything shortcode error: A valid ID has not been provided<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We don\u2019t want to over-explain H.P.
