The show stars Jurnee Smollett and Jonathan Majors, and debuted on August 16, 2020 in HBO. It is produced by Monkeypaw Productions, Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. Television. The storyline follows a young Black man journeying through the segregated United States in the 1950s to find his missing father, uncovering sinister truths connected to a town that inspired the legendary horror writer H.
