Bob Greenblatt, the recently appointed chairman of WarnerMedia Entertainment and direct-to-consumer, and JBO President of Programming Casey Bloys confirmed the returns as part of an interview with Deadline.
Still to be determined are Jordan Peele & J.J. Abrams’ “Lovecraft Country,” Joss Whedon’s “The Nevers” and Abrams‘ “Contraband” (fka “Demimonde”). Also TBD is HBO’s “Perry Mason” limited series starring former “The Americans” star Matthew Rhys.
Abrams’ newly titled “Contraband” is an epic and intimate sci-fi fantasy drama. Abrams is executive producing with Bad Robot’s Ben Stephenson.
Whedon’s “The Nevers” is an epic science fiction drama about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies and a mission that might change the world. Whedon writers, directs, executive produces and showruns.

Based on the 2016 novel from Matt Ruff, “Lovecraft Country” focuses on 25-year-old Atticus Black. After his father goes missing, Black joins up with his friend Letitia and his Uncle George to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America to find him.
