How to watch Lovecraft Country online: stream the new HBO Max show from anywhere

There are dozens of VPNs to choose from, but we recommend ExpressVPN. It's quick, simple to use, and easy to install. Plus, it’s compatible with a whole host of devices, including but not limited to Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, and iOS and Android software.

Express VPN's flexible 30-day money back guarantee is difficult to turn down. But even better, you can purchase an annual plan for a 49% discount and get 3 months extra FREE – a brilliant deal for an essential piece of kit.

Once installed, just pick the location of your home country, click connect, and shazam! You’ll be free to enjoy Lovecraft Country, along with hundreds of other thrilling films and TV shows, no matter where you are on the planet.

Cable viewers with the HBO channel can watch this much-anticipated series every Sunday, starting from August 16 at 9pm.

Those who’ve cut-the-cord will find their supernatural chills on HBO Max, the latest darling of the streaming world. Subscription costs $14.99 a month, although new customers are entitled to a week-long free trial first. This should be enough time to catch the Yann Demange-directed premiere of Lovecraft Country, and maybe a few more episodes if you’re willing to hold off a week or so before registering.

And if you’re a current HBO Now subscriber or pay for HBO through your cable provider, you might actually be entitled to HBO Max at no extra cost.

If your eyeballs are suitably enchanted, then a monthly subscription will open up a universe of acclaimed content, including classic TV shows from HBO like Game of Thrones, Westworld, and Succession, curated titles from Turner Classic Movies, and picks from Warner Brothers’ 100-year library. It’s also the exclusive home of all seasons of Friends and the entire Studio Ghibli back catalogue.

Devices compatible with HBO Max include iPhone and Android devices, Apple and Samsung TVs, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, Chromecast and Chromebooks, and laptops and PCS. It doesn’t currently work, however, with Roku or the Amazon Fire Stick.

No Canadian is being left behind when it comes to quality TV. An entry-level Crave subscription already gifts you access to past HBO shows for CND$9.99. But to join Atticus, Leticia, and co on their road-trip from hell, you’ll need to select the second-tier subscription, Movies + HBO. For CND$19.98 (plus tax), this guarantees Canadian viewers access to HBO programming at the same time as its US broadcast. So, you can exchange your hot take on the chilling Lovecraft Country with your American friends without fretting about spoilers. Even better, before you part with a single dime you get to luxuriate in the warm glow of their 7 Day Free Trial!

It’s worth reiterating that anyone travelling abroad will need to download a streaming VPN to connect to the streaming service they’re registered with back home, and so watch Lovecraft Country online no matter where in the universe you are.

UK fans rejoice, as you can also savour this racially-charged horror drama from 9pm on Monday August 17, only a day after its US premiere. Those still tethered to cable can watch it on Sky Atlantic, and Now TV will provide on-demand viewers with the OTT option. Just select their Entertainment Pass to get access to Lovecraft Country and more than 300 TV boxsets.

On signing up, new subscribers get a one-week free trial. It costs £8.99 a month thereafter (£9.99 after August 31), but there’s no contract so you can cancel at any time.

Foxtel is bringing Lovecraft Country to the Aussies big style. Binge, its most recent VOD venture, is a great value option. Their entry-level package is only AU$10, which provides one stream in SD quality. Splash out a little more, though, and get HD viewing and up to 4 streams.

Binge only launched in July, which might account for its generous 14-Day Free Trial! Once subscribed, you’ll get access to 10,000 hours of content, with titles including Big Little Lies, The Wire, Chernobyl, and more from networks like HBO, FX, and Warner Bros. It also offers more than 800 movies.

If you’re looking for an online surrogate for cable TV, you might want to investigate Foxtel Now instead. This IPTV service is more expensive at AU$25 for their Essential Pop & Lifestyle pack, but you’ll get an excess of 25 channels that includes MTV, CNN, Fox8 and Fox Showcase. The latter will be streaming Lovecraft Country each week from Monday, August 17. And, with a 10-Day Free Trial available, it’s surely worth a peek.

Finally, remember that if you’re abroad in Australia and decide to sample either Binge or Foxtel Now, you’d probably require an Australian phone number and/or method of payment. Much less hassle would be to download a VPN and connect to your OD service back home, so that you can watch Lovecraft Country online, and relish this latest hit from anywhere in the world.
