‘Atlanta’ Is Getting A Third Season & Is Donald Glover King Of America Yet

Your fave and mine Donald Glover looks set to remain front and centre in public consciousness for the foreseeable future, with American network FX renewing his smash-hit show Atlanta for a third season.

The genre-defying show ostensibly follows Glover’s character Earn Marks as he tries to “make it” in modern-day America, but as we saw from the second season (cheekily titled Robbin’ Season), the show basically does whatever the hell it wants. Unsurprisingly, people are extremely into it.

I mean, Glover going full method in whiteface to maintain a profoundly unsettling character in a bottle episode that’s pretty much straight-out horror? This show is the vehicle for whatever form the guy’s genius happens to take, and considering how good it’s been so far (and how paradigm-defining his other creative work has been), we’re in for a treat with this next one. Can the bloke do anything bad?

The release date is rumoured to be sometime next year. Get hyped.

Until then, go watch season two again. Here’s the trailer if you need a refresh. This shit… it’s good.
