Birds of Prey, Nicole Wright in
True Blood, and Judith in
Tyler Perry‘s
Temptation, to name just a few.
Now, Jurnee’s got our attention once more in the new
HBO series
Lovecraft Country. She plays Leti Dandridge in the Misha Green production, opposite Jonathan Majors.

“Based on Matt Ruff’s novel of the same name,
Lovecraft Country follows Atticus Freeman (Jonathan Majors) as he meets up with his friend Letitia (Jurnee Smollett) and his uncle George (Courtney B. Vance) to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father (Michael Kenneth Williams). This begins a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the terrifying monsters that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback.”
If it sounds like it’s an intense watch, that’s because it is and just one episode in, viewers can’t get enough — of the show, and especially of Jurnee.
