FX has released the fullAtlantaSeason 2 trailer, offering our first look at footage from the highly anticipated second season of the groundbreaking comedy series. The show hails from creator/writer/director/starDonald Gloverand revolves around a group of individuals navigating life in present day Atlanta. The first season took huge ambitious leaps in terms of narrative and storytelling, resulting in a truly unique viewing experience. The show feels at once insanely real and also a bit heightened, digging deep into universal truths but also crafting dimensional, fully-realized characters.
Season 2 is officially calledAtlanta Robbin’ Seasonand takes place during the holidays, which in Atlanta are called “Robbin’ Season” because crime increases as folks struggle to make end’s meet. This trailer offers a wonderful taste of what’s in store without really spoiling any of the storylines. Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry) is continuing to grow his rap career, and Earn (Glover) continues to manage his path forward.
Hiro Murai, who directed much of Season 1 and was a crucial creative collaborator, returns to helm at least the first three episodes of Season 2, which is great news. The show went on an extended hiatus while Glover filmed his role as Lando Calrissian inSolo: A Star Wars Story, but it’s exciting to finally have the series back on TV in a matter of weeks. Here’s hoping Glover and Co. avoid a sophomore slump.
Watch the newAtlantaSeason 2 trailer below, followed by new images. The series also starsZazie Beetsand returns on March 1st on FX.
