The supernatural drama debuted on Aug. 16 2020 following months of Black Lives Matter protests across the nation. Viewers and critics praised the series for its exploration of racism and bigotry through the lens of horror fiction.
Based on Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff, the show followed a young Black man named Atticus Freeman as he travels through the segregated U.S. during the Jim Crow era. Freeman is accompanied by his friend Letitia and his uncle George, who must collectively overcome fantastical monsters as well as the bigotry of white America.
