Lovecraft was a beautiful show in terms of its look, its narrative and what I would also consider to be an exceptional marriage of storytelling and music. When the show got canceled, there were two predominant explanations out there. One was it had gotten too expensive. The second was there wasn’t a compelling vision for the next season. It turns out neither was the real reason. I had several sources within HBO and elsewhere — people who worked on the show and people who represented people on the show — who said the environment on the show was not a healthy one. For HBO, it was a double-down on sadness — not only is it losing a show that was such an outlier in terms of what it was trying to say, but then to have a Black showrunner — and a female Black showrunner — is not something that happens every day, and people were incredibly excited about that. So, again, the word I come back to is “sadness” that it was not able to continue.
Green hasn’t commented on these claims. Green inked a deal with Apple TV, so there are hopes that a second season of the show will debut there.

Good for her.
A lot of bad rumors about her having a toxic working environment on her sets.
its curious that none of the rumors came out til HBO canceled the show, Green stated she was prepping a 2nd season, the industry was shocked and the show got nominated for awards
there have been way more toxic showrunners that got to make tv for years. They usually white men but I am like skeptical that a black woman who had to proably work her way up and earn everything she was given would foster a toxic work enviroment. But than again in a normal setting ppl quick to describe a black woman as ANGRY, DIFFCULT, etc.

Yeah I wonder about this because of the black Contant white people in Hollywood got scared to a certain extent…….in someways this is what I think happened with Mr. Nancy on American Gods.Good for her.

Man you can't convince me that Ridley Scott isn't an asshole 24-7. So this is straight facts!its curious that none of the rumors came out til HBO canceled the show, Green stated she was prepping a 2nd season, the industry was shocked and the show got nominated for awards

they dont give a shit its a black showWhat confuses me...
WHY????!!!
this is all about making MONEY right? We in business?!
You meet her like her idea give her millions she makes a dope show you getting subscribers ratings buzz...
What the f**k more matters?
This confuses me about the devil.
You not only getting money but awards recognition LGBTQ+ loves you, black folks love you....
Why would you fire her? Why would you cancel it?
And not even try to sell it to another platform?
You had one of the greatest casts in modern hbo history locked up under contract!
Why do this?
F**k it I know why
But that don't make it any easier to take.
they dont give a shit its a black show
shit look how they treated the wire and the creators were white
they are just racists over there
this was somebody flexing their power
and jordan peele produced it right? he was kind of silent too
the only other reason would be the actors asking for more moneySee see see Jordan Peele involved and this still happened?
There is a damn thick book about all the hbo executive upheaval
So they just keep replacing racist after racist after racist?
There has to be more there.
I hate that this got brought back up just to get my blood pressure high
the only other reason would be the actors asking for more money
jonathan mayors was on his way becoming big star
might had some scheduling issues in the future
micheal k was doing his thing too
but nah i think it was a racist move
didnt make sense she was already working on season 2I don't know...
That whole cast was so close and supportive of the creator...
And hbo series can take like 2 years off
And the way it was written the whole cast could move in and out easily
This is so f**king stupid on so many levels.
didnt make sense she was already working on season 2
shit they did arsenio hall the same way renewed it then cancel the show right after.
she was beefing with the suits from beginning so they just made it up
Ummm
Was she slick trashing Will Smith? @ 14:30
No, she was expressing frustration that the story was spun that way. She wrote Will a letter saying she didn't feel she was being paid fairly. So, Will talked with the producers and got everyone "a bonus" on top of their original pay. When she really should've been paid fairly from the jump. But as she stated, more proof that once black women get paid fairly, everyone else benefits as well.

Yup, correct...
That was a good interview. She has a real good spirit, and a great actress....enjoyed her in every flick/TV show i've seen her in. "Birth of a Nation", "Lovecraft",etc.
