Lovecraft Country might have more tales to tell on HBO Max.
Although Lovecraft Country isn't currently renewed for a second season, HBO and HBO Max's Chief Content Officer Casey Bloys confirmed that a potential storyline for a Season 2 is in the works with creator Misha Green and a team of writers, as reported by Deadline.
Bloys said, "Misha is working with a small team of writers and they’re coming up with a take. She had a book to go on in the first season, she and the writers wanted to go off and take some time to go out and figure out without a book with these characters, what’s the journey we want to go on. We all want to be sure she’s got a story to tell. That’s where she is right now, working on those ideas. I’m very hopeful, as is Mischa, so we’re giving them the time to work."
Season 1 of Lovecraft Country was based on the 2016 novel by author Matt Ruff. A future season, however, would deviate into new material. While the details of what a potential Season 2 would look like remain scarce, it was revealed that it'd likely involve the characters "Leti, Montrose, Hippolyta and Ji-ah."
Green previously stated that she'd like to continue the story, noting, "I envision a second season that carries on the spirit of Matt Ruff’s novel by continuing to reclaim the genre storytelling space that people of color have typically been left out of." The creator also noted that she had "20 seasons" worth of stories to tell. Season 1 saw the introduction of a multiverse linked to Hippolyta Freeman, which opens up many avenues for Green to expand the universe of Lovecraft Country.
Currently, Green is working on writing and directing MGM's Tomb Raider sequel. Alicia Vikander will be reprising her role as treasure hunter Lara Croft. The film is currently in development and has no release date nor other casting announcements at this time.
Executive produced by Jordan Peele, Yann Demange and J.J. Abrams, Lovecraft Country stars Jurnee Smollett, Jonathan Majors, Aunjanue Ellis, Abbey Lee, Jada Harris, Wunmi Mosaku and Michael Kenneth Williams, with Courtney B. Vance, Jamie Chung, Jamie Neumann, Jordan Patrick Smith and Tony Goldwyn. Season 1 is streaming on HBO Max.
