“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,” FX Entertainment President, Eric Schrier said. “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.”

The season three delay can be attributed to the vast number of projects that have been abundant for the show’s stars, particularly Glover, who recently starred in Solo: A Star Wars Story, Guava Island and Disney’s remake of The Lion King.
Atlanta, which has sustained a dedicated following and high viewership, premiered in 2016 and in addition to Emmys won two Golden Globes, a Peabody Award and more.
