Based on Matt Ruff's 2016 novel, this new series directed by Misha Green takes place in the 1950s Jim Crow South, where a Black man enlists the help of his friend and uncle to find his missing father—a journey rife with racist obstacles and supernatural spooks. It's executive-produced by J.J. Abrams and Jordan Peele, so you know you're in for some existential scariness met with jump-out-of-your-seat moments.
