After spending most of the past season in Europe, Earn (Donald Glover), Alfred ‘Paper Boi’ Miles (Brian Tyree Henry), Darius (LaKeith Stanfield), and Van (Zazie Beetz) are back in Atlanta, trying to figure out if their hometown has changed in their absence… or have they.

Donald Glover told ET that the theme of the final season was to simply “have more fun”. His brother and executive producer Stephen Glover echoed his statement and expressed hope that Atlanta will inspire other creators to experiment and have fun, as well.

“I think the legacy of it is going to be about experimentation and how much weird stuff we’ve been able to do, Hopefully, that leads other people to want to take risks and do weird stuff too. Hopefully, that’s the legacy we lead,” said Stephen Glover.

The third season of the series premiered earlier this year and ended up scoring three Emmy nominations. Season 4 is set to return to FX on September 15 and it will feature 10 episodes.

Both shows have been nominated for the outstanding comedy series, together with Insecure, South Side, and Black-ish. The list of contenders for the outstanding drama series is just as impressive and it includes Bel-Air, Euphoria, Lupin, This is Us, and Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty.

Atlanta owes most of its nominations to its amazing cast, including Donald Glover, Brian Tyree Henry, LaKeith Stanfield, and Zazie Beetz. It also received nominations in directing and writing categories for two separate episodes.

Black Reel Awards founder Tim Gordon described the past year as “a big transitional year for Black television” because it marked the ending of many beloved shows and introduced us to new ones.

“With the conclusion of perennial Black Reel favorites like This Is Us, Insecure and Black-ish and more, it is wonderful to see that there are so many new shows, new stories, and outlets willing to add these refreshing and new stories to their programming,” said Gordon in a statement.

At first glance, you can barely tell this cryptic teaser has anything to do with Atlanta, but things become clearer once we get a shot of Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry). He’s shown wearing a big cross and a shirt reading “FAKE” in front of two servants facing the wall behind him.

The teaser also reveals one crucial piece of information: the new season will air in 2022. This news comes shortly after FX chairman John Landgraf said they’re struggling to lock down the release dates for the upcoming third and fourth seasons.

“The reason I can’t lock down a date right now is that it’s being driven by Donald Glover and Hiro Murai’s schedule and availability and the length of post, both for Season 3 while in the process of producing Season 4,” said Landgraf back in August.

In addition to Glover and Henry, Atlanta also stars Zazie Beets and Lakeith Stanfield, and it’s been off the air ever since its second season wrapped up in 2018.

The post The First Teaser for “Atlanta” Season 3 is As Spooky is It Gets appeared first on EverydayKoala.

FX chairman John Landgraf discussed Atlanta’s future during the network’s recent TCA presentation. They’re struggling to lock down an exact release date because it’s driven by Donald Glover and Hiro Morai’s schedule and availability, but the critically acclaimed comedy series will most likely come back in the first half of 2022.

“We haven’t locked down the scheduling for Season 3 yet as it just finished shooting—it’s shot primarily in Europe. It’s in post-production and it’s a lengthy post-production process, and part of that is because they’re currently in production of Season 4 in Atlanta,” explained Landgraf.

In addition to Glover, who created the series, Atlanta also stars Brian Tyree Henry, Lakeith Stanfield, and Zazie Beetz, and centers on the misadventures of up-and-coming rapper and his music manager as they navigate the Atlanta rap scene. The show has been met with critical acclaim since its premiere in 2016 and went on to win two Golden Globes and two Emmy Awards.

Eric Schrier, president of FX Entertainment, announced the show’s renewal in an official press release and praised the creative team that transformed Atlanta into one of the best-reviewed shows on TV right now.

“What more can be said about Atlanta than the critical acclaim and accolades that Donald, Paul, Dianne, Stephen, and Hiro have earned for two exceptional seasons of what is clearly one of the best shows on television. This group of collaborators and cast have created one of the most original, innovative stories of this generation and we are proud to be their partners,” said Schrier.

Since premiering in 2016, Atlanta won numerous accolades, including two Golden Globes for its first season – best comedy series and best lead actor. That same year, Donald Glover collected two Emmys for this show and made history by becoming the first person of African-American descent to win this award for directing a comedy series.

Atlanta also stars Brian Tyree Henry, Lakeith Stanfield, and Zazie Beetz, and the third season is set to premiere on FX later this year.

Gene Cousineau (Barry)

Self-obsessed stand-up professor Gene Cousineau may not be the lead character of HBO hit Barry, but Henry Winkler transformed him into the most compelling character on this show.

Villanelle (Killing Eve)

Killing Eve was one of the most fascinating new shows of 2018, but it would never work if Jodie Comer failed to bring gravitas to the role of brutal assassin Villanelle.

Amma Crellin (Sharp Objects)

Sharp Objects gave us one of the biggest twist endings of the year, and it would’ve never worked if it wasn’t for Amma.

Teddy Perkins (Atlanta)

We can’t remember the last time an episodic character created this much buzz, praise, and controversy at the same time.

Sabrina Spellman (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina)

Fans of the world’s most popular teenage witch waited years to see her live her best life on the small screen, and Kiernan Shipka finally answered their prayers with this Netflix hit series.

At first glance, you can barely tell this cryptic teaser has anything to do with Atlanta, but things become clearer once we get a shot of Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry). He’s shown wearing a big cross and a shirt reading “FAKE” in front of two servants facing the wall behind him.

The teaser also reveals one crucial piece of information: the new season will air in 2022. This news comes shortly after FX chairman John Landgraf said they’re struggling to lock down the release dates for the upcoming third and fourth seasons.

“The reason I can’t lock down a date right now is that it’s being driven by Donald Glover and Hiro Murai’s schedule and availability and the length of post, both for Season 3 while in the process of producing Season 4,” said Landgraf back in August.

In addition to Glover and Henry, Atlanta also stars Zazie Beets and Lakeith Stanfield, and it’s been off the air ever since its second season wrapped up in 2018.

FX chairman John Landgraf discussed Atlanta’s future during the network’s recent TCA presentation. They’re struggling to lock down an exact release date because it’s driven by Donald Glover and Hiro Morai’s schedule and availability, but the critically acclaimed comedy series will most likely come back in the first half of 2022.

“We haven’t locked down the scheduling for Season 3 yet as it just finished shooting—it’s shot primarily in Europe. It’s in post-production and it’s a lengthy post-production process, and part of that is because they’re currently in production of Season 4 in Atlanta,” explained Landgraf.

In addition to Glover, who created the series, Atlanta also stars Brian Tyree Henry, Lakeith Stanfield, and Zazie Beetz, and centers on the misadventures of up-and-coming rapper and his music manager as they navigate the Atlanta rap scene. The show has been met with critical acclaim since its premiere in 2016 and went on to win two Golden Globes and two Emmy Awards.

Eric Schrier, president of FX Entertainment, announced the show’s renewal in an official press release and praised the creative team that transformed Atlanta into one of the best-reviewed shows on TV right now.

“What more can be said about Atlanta than the critical acclaim and accolades that Donald, Paul, Dianne, Stephen, and Hiro have earned for two exceptional seasons of what is clearly one of the best shows on television. This group of collaborators and cast have created one of the most original, innovative stories of this generation and we are proud to be their partners,” said Schrier.

Since premiering in 2016, Atlanta won numerous accolades, including two Golden Globes for its first season – best comedy series and best lead actor. That same year, Donald Glover collected two Emmys for this show and made history by becoming the first person of African-American descent to win this award for directing a comedy series.

Atlanta also stars Brian Tyree Henry, Lakeith Stanfield, and Zazie Beetz, and the third season is set to premiere on FX later this year.

Gene Cousineau (Barry)

Self-obsessed stand-up professor Gene Cousineau may not be the lead character of HBO hit Barry, but Henry Winkler transformed him into the most compelling character on this show.

Villanelle (Killing Eve)

Killing Eve was one of the most fascinating new shows of 2018, but it would never work if Jodie Comer failed to bring gravitas to the role of brutal assassin Villanelle.

Amma Crellin (Sharp Objects)

Sharp Objects gave us one of the biggest twist endings of the year, and it would’ve never worked if it wasn’t for Amma.

Teddy Perkins (Atlanta)

We can’t remember the last time an episodic character created this much buzz, praise, and controversy at the same time.

Sabrina Spellman (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina)

Fans of the world’s most popular teenage witch waited years to see her live her best life on the small screen, and Kiernan Shipka finally answered their prayers with this Netflix hit series.
