We’re only recommending official sources for watching Lovecraft Country season 1. The trouble with unauthorized streams is that they are usually very low-quality and suffer from excessive amounts of lag and buffering. They may even be taken offline for violating copyright, leaving you in the lurch. For these reasons, we recommend you stick with the official sources listed in this post. This ensures you’ll be able to live stream the premiere of Lovecraft Country season 1 in the highest quality.
Lovecraft Country season 1 will only be shown on region-locked platforms. To continue watching online from abroad via your usual streaming services, you’ll need to use a VPN.
How to watch Lovecraft Country season 1 online with a VPN
Connecting to a VPN server allows you to change your IP address. This makes it appear as if you’re browsing from another location. For example, if you connect to a server in the United States, you’ll receive a US IP address. This lets you unblock and watch geo-restricted content such as Lovecraft Country online from abroad.
Here’s how to watch Lovecraft Country online from anywhere:
- Select and sign up with a VPN service. We recommend ExpressVPN. However, NordVPN and Surfshark also unblock HBO and offer excellent value for money.
- Download and install the VPN app (or browser extension) for whichever device you plan on streaming Lovecraft Country season 1.
- Open the VPN app and connect to a server in the USA. This is how you get a US IP address for unblocking HBO abroad.
- Go to HBO Max and sign in if you already have an account. If not, don’t worry. We’ll cover the various ways you can access HBO Max further below.
- All HBO Max content should now play without restriction! If it’s still blocked, clear your browser’s cookies. Alternatively, it’s worth contacting your VPN’s support.
Lovecraft Country season 1 will broadcast live on HBO. It’s a good idea to test your VPN with HBO ahead of time. If there are any problems, you’ll have enough time to contact your VPN’s customer support for further assistance.
Where to watch Lovecraft Country season 1 on US TV

It’s worth knowing that you can also get HBO max via Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV as an add-on (an extra $14.99 per month).
