'Atlanta' To Return in 2021 on FX

The critically-acclaimed Donald Glover drama Atlanta is all set to be back with more episodes after a break in 2021.

According to Variety, during the cabler’s Television Critics Assn. press tour in Pasadena, Calif. on Thursday, John Landgraf, chairman, FX Networks and FX Prods., announced that the next two installments of the Emmy-winning comedy series would not be ready until 2021.

Calling Seasons 3 and 4 “Part 1 and 2” of a new chapter in the series’ life, Landgraf said that the first 10 episodes should return in January 2021, with the next batch, which as of now will consist of eight episodes, following in the fall of that year.

These 18 episodes will be shot in sequence, with some of the filming taking place in the titular city, but much of it also “shooting outside the U.S.,” he noted.

“As long as Donald wants to make more ‘Atlanta,’ I’m down for that. But it’s his choice,” he said.

Glover created the series and stars alongside Brian Tyree Henry, Zazie Beetz, and Lakeith Stanfield.
