FX Confirms Season 3 of Donald Glover’s ‘Atlanta’ Delayed

DONALD GLOVER, ATLANTA

*Some good and not so good news for fans of Donald Glover and his hit FX series “Atlanta.”

FX has confirmed the third season of the award-winning drama series… but it likely won’t return for the 2019 season.

via THR:

FX chief John Landgraf revealed at the Television Critics Association winter press tour on Monday morning that the Donald Glover series is behind schedule.

When the network renewed Atlanta for a third season last June, it was expected to return in 2019 — but it’s become clear that’s no longer possible.

“I don’t know whether we’ll have Atlanta or not. The writers are back working right now, thank God,” said Landgraf, before PR boss John Solberg confirmed that “it won’t be for this Emmy cycle.”

“Atlanta,” which Glover has described as a passion project of his, has previously won two Emmys, two Golden Globes and a Peabody Award.

“As you might imagine, Donald Glover is sort of the king of all media, and he just has had an incredibly complicated life. He’s had personal things he’s had to deal with, from injuries to other things I’d rather not say publicly that just have to do not with his personal life but his extended family,” Landgraf further explained of the delay. “So I think one of the things that is just a reality of television today is you have to wait. We have so many things now that don’t cycle back on a regular basis. … From my standpoint, I wish for the fans as well as for us that we could get everything back on an annual basis but, again, you just have to make a decision about quantity over quality at a certain point — and we’re just erring on the side of quality.”
