The brilliant, surrealist comedy series has picked up a string of awards and glowing reviews for the cable network, which consistently boasts some of the best programming on TV, and 2018’sAtlanta Robbin' Seasonwas about as perfect of a sophomore effort you could ask for. Combine that with the heat on Glover and director/producerHiro Muraiafter the zeitgeisty Childish Gambino sensation that was ‘This Is America’, and theAtlantarenewal was all but garaunteed – even if Glover’s rising star means we might have to wait a little longer for a new season again (Season 2 was postponed so Glover could take on the role of Lando Calrissian inSolo: A Star Wars Story).
Atlantais executive produced by Glover,Paul Simms,Dianne McGunigle,Stephen Gloverand Murai, and produced by FX Productions. The recently concludedRobbin' Season, followed cousins Earn Marks (Donald Glover) and Alfred Miles (Brian Tyree Henry) trying to navigate the Atlanta music scene and get Alfred’s hip-hop career off the ground.
