Residents may have noticed some production signs and trucks in front of Old City Hall. The production code ‘RP’ is for an upcoming HBO series co-produced by none other than mega-producers J.J. Abrams & Jordan Peele called ‘Lovecraft Country.’ According to the film website IMDB, the series will be a period piece and deals with race relations and the supernatural.
