About Atlanta

Atlanta is an FX comedy-drama created by and starring Donald Glover that ran from 2016 to 2022, following Earn Marks as he manages his cousin Alfred's rising rap career ('Paper Boi') while navigating money, family, race, and the surreal texture of life in the city. Equal parts deadpan comedy, social commentary, and outright dream-logic horror, it is one of the most original and acclaimed shows of its era.

Genre-defying and fearless, Atlanta drifts between grounded character study and standalone experimental episodes — like the celebrated, unsettling 'Teddy Perkins' — that bend television's form to Glover's singular vision. It mines comedy and dread from the absurdities of fame, poverty, and Blackness in America with a confidence few shows attempt.

Led by an Emmy-winning Glover and a breakout Brian Tyree Henry and LaKeith Stanfield, Atlanta is a landmark of modern television.
