FX’s ‘Atlanta’ To Bow Out After Season 4, Donald Glover, Zazie Beetz & Brian Tyree Henry Reflect On The News

February 18, 2022

This is not the news we expected to hear as we gear up to reunite with Ern, Paper Boi, Darius, and Van in season 3 of FX’s hit show Atlanta.

Donald Glover’s Atlanta superb run will end with the show’s fourth and final season. FX Chairman John Landgraf confirmed the sad news. “The fourth and final season is slated to debut in the same manner this fall.” He further added, “The new season is everything you’ve come to expect from ‘Atlanta,’ which is to say, expect the unexpected. Sit back and enjoy the trip.”

Bruh.

The reclusive multihyphenate and his co-stars Zazie Beetz and Brian Tyree Henry also chimed in on the news about the show’s final season. Glover also revealed that he wanted to bow out after season 2.

Glover also pointed out that the decision to make season 4 the final chapter in Atlanta’s successful stint had nothing to do with the 8 figure deal he secured with Amazon in 2021. Glover did add that he is open to returning to show in some capacity, jokingly bringing up the idea of an Atlanta Christmas special, something we think would slap. “If there’s a reason to do it, of course. Like a Christmas special,” Glover said. “It always depends. I like keeping my options open.”

Beetz revealed that she was “a little emotional” about the show ended and felt the same way Glover does.

Henry reflected on his character Paper Boi’s future as a rapper as he gets older.

We’re going to be sad to see the show end, but we haven’t crossed that bridge yet. We’re going to appreciate Atlanta even more when it returns for its highly anticipated third season on March 24.
