History Trivia / LovecraftCountry

* TroubledProduction: It came out in 2024 that the show's production was challenging for the cast and crew; not only was the dark subject matter emotionally gruelling and the shoots often long and complex due to the cosmic horror elements, but there were also issues with star Creator/JonathanMajors being demanding and aggressive towards crew members, mostly women. Several crew members reported that Majors' attitude made it difficult for them to do their jobs, with assistant director Lisa Zugschwerdt quitting after a few episodes due to Majors' behaviour towards her and another assistant director Jessica Pollini being reduced to tears when Majors tried to intimidate her into leaving the role; female employees reportedly warned each other to tread carefully around Majors. When three women (including Pollini and Zugschwerdt) complained to HBO, Majors was ordered to apologise, though Pollini stated Majors treated it more as a misunderstanding.

** After the fifth episode premiered, a significant portion of the show's fan base had this reaction when it was shown that [[spoiler:Christina and William are the same person.]] Some people had been calling it since the second episode. Though it turns out [[spoiler:that William really was a different person, at some point he was killed and Christina was using his blood for a spell to impersonate him.]]
** Also in the fifth episode, there's Montrose being gay, which people had him pegged for since he first appeared.
** People also assumed Uncle George was Tic's real father, which is acknowledged to be a possibility in "Rewind 1921".
