The introductory season contains ten episodes with a duration of 53 to 68 minutes per episode. Till now, HBO hasn’t greenlit Lovecraft Country Season 2. Considering the ongoing pandemic condition and present limitations in production, no series or drama is secured from being dropped by a streaming partner if it fails to perform efficiently.
However, drama developer Misha Green mentioned that she is discussing with HBO regarding the second season, although they haven’t reached any productive decision. While talking to Deadline in 2020, Misha told, “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.” Additionally, the first season has earned up to the mark responses from viewers which builds a strong foundation for Lovecraft Country Season 2.
In February 2021, Casey Bloys, the head content officer of HBO consoled that the production unit is looking positive regarding the second installment of the series. He also revealed that Misha Green and her entire crew of script makers have started creating content for season 2, where we will get to see a further story of Atticus. The filming needs some more time to start as the showrunner requires a script to take things forward.
There shouldn’t be any doubt related to the onset of filming as the show hasn’t even received a renewal for its second run by the parent network. But if the series gets a green signal in the upcoming few months and shooting begins by the end of 2021 then Lovecraft Country Season 2 can be launched by the last of 2022 or at beginning of 2023.
