They built all of that from scratch and it was super authentic. I believe they consulted with someone from Korea who builds those traditional houses. But what I love and respect about everyone was that they did their research. There was an immense amount of research that went into every episode, but especially episode six, for authenticity.

It’s set up here to bring the past [back]; a past that Atticus was shying away from. It’s something he’s scared to bring up and so now I do believe that he’s going to be confronted with that past. [You also] see a love triangle happening… it’s certainly there and I think that’s something that’s also going to be addressed. Lovecraft Country is avail...
