After a four-year hiatus, Atlanta is finally returning to TV. The long-awaited third season of Donald Glover’s Emmy-winning dramedy series co-starring Brian Tyree Henry, Lakeith Stanfield and Zazie Beetz, will land on FX on March 24 — but the show will officially end after season 4, which is scheduled to air this fall.
Glover explained the decision to end the show during the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour on Thursday (Feb. 17).
“Death is natural,” he said. “I feel like when the conditions are right for something, they happen, and when the conditions aren’t right, they don’t happen. I don’t feel any longevity. Because then things start to get weird. The story was always supposed to be what it was. And the story, it really was us. Everybody in that writers’ room, everybody on set. It really was what we were going through and what we talked about … I think it ends perfectly.”
If you’ve followed the adventures of Earn Marks (Glover), Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles (Henry) and Darius Epps (Stanfield) since the beginning, you may not remember everything that went down in the first two seasons. Keep reading for a list of streaming platforms where you can catch up on old episodes of Atlanta before the new season drops.
