GOD YES! There's something about Lovecraft that's always made faithful adaptations with any kind of budget kind of a dicey proposition. Stories like "The Horror at Red Hook" are too controversial to even consider. But with the boundaries that are being pushed with Hannibal and Game of Thrones (in terms of graphic horror and scale of production), I could see most of his stuff getting unleashed. They could do a season for every story. From Beyond, The Call of Cthulhu, The Shadow over Innsmouth, At the Mountains of Madness. There's some confusion over who owns the rights of his post-1923 material but I'm sure the idea is being kicked around by more than one producer.
