Watchmen Executive Producer and Writer Damon Lindelof is back with two important announcements. First of all, The Official Watchmen Podcast is returning with two new episodes! Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) will be in conversation with Lindelof and some of the series' directors and writers. That's coming soon, but in the meantime, there's a new HBO podcast to hold you over. Lovecraft Country Radio is the official podcast of the new HBO series, Lovecraft Country. And we're sharing the pre-premiere episode with you here. In this spoiler-free episode, co-hosts Ashley C. Ford and Lovecraft Country writer Shannon Houston talk about the inspiration behind the series. They track the show's history from writer H.P. Lovecraft, to Matt Ruff's novel "Lovecraft Country" and Misha Green's TV adaptation. Shannon describes what it was like to be in the writers room and shares some of the works that influenced the show. Lovecraft Country premieres August 16 at 9 PM ET on HBO and HBO MAX.
