Drops March 1st.

Donald Glover is finally back with Season 2 of “Atlanta,” and as a twist, the show has a new name: “Atlanta Robbin’ Season.” FX was mum on what that title actually means, although much more will be revealed later on Friday when Glover and the rest of the show’s cast and producers meet with reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour.

Here’s what we do know: “Atlanta Robbin’ Season” will premiere on FX on Thursday, March 1, 2018 at 10 p.m. It’s been more than a year since the finale of Season 1 aired (on November 1, 2016), so that news is very welcome to “Atlanta” fans.

Of course, Glover has been pretty busy since then, including filming the young Han Solo movie for Disney and watching his pop career as Childish Gambino score even bigger heights.


FX’s description of Season 2 doesn’t really say much more than what viewers already know, but it’s good to see everyone back: “In ‘Atlanta Robbin’ Season,’ two cousins work through the Atlanta music scene in order to better their lives and the lives of their families. Earn Marks (Donald Glover) is a young manager trying to get his cousin’s career off the ground. Alfred Miles (Brian Tyree Henry) is a new hot rapper trying to understand the line between real life and street life. Darius”(Lakeith Lee Stanfield) is Alfred’s right-hand man and visionary. Van (Zazie Beetz) is Earn’s best friend and the mother of Earn’s daughter. Donald Glover serves as Executive Producer, along with Paul Simms, Dianne McGunigle and Stephen Glover.”


What exactly does “Robbin’ Season” in the title mean? IndieWire spoke to story editor Stephen Glover for an explanation. “It’s not Season 2; it’s ‘Robbin’ Season,” he confirmed on Friday. “Robbin’ season is the time before Christmas in Atlanta where there’s more criminal activity than normal because it’s about to be Christmas time, it’s the end of the year, there are a lot of people with gifts, there’s a lot of robberies going on because people have nice stuff at the time or trying to make money for Christmas or during that end of the year period, kind of like a vibe in Atlanta during that time.”

He added that the season “starts off around that time and it keeps going through that time, so you get a little taste of robbin’ season during this season.”

FX is behind “Atlanta,” which won two Emmy Awards in Season 1, as well as two Golden Globe Awards, and AFI, Peabody, PGA, WGA, TCA, NAACP and Critics’ Choice honors.

“I think what’s important with Season 2 is making sure that people understand how it feels to live in the city of Atlanta,” Stephen Glover told IndieWire last summer. “It’s a very unique experience in the south, which is a super-racist place, but at the same time, it’s one of the blackest places in the world probably in terms of African-American. That culture is drenched all over it. There’s so many layers to the life that people are living there, even down to rap music. You can find all of the things that you hear people rap about in Atlanta. That life is really there. There’s really tragedy and triumph in this city that’s so specific though. I think with Season 2 that’s the big goal, to get people to feel that.”

In other FX news, the network also announced that “The Americans” will premiere its sixth and final season on Wednesday, March 28, 2018, at 10 p.m. on FX, and “Trust,” the story of the Getty oil family, bows on Sunday, March 25, at 10 p.m. Also, the “Sons of Anarchy” spinoff “Mayans MC” has been given a 10-episode series order, set to premiere in 2018.

Can't wait to see this season

I'm so hyped for this to be back.

Wow. Gotta say that I wasn't expecting that much greatness and epic shit.

That cold open was insane.

Kat Williams was a perfect choice.

So many quota less:

"What flavor are Flaming Hot Cheetos?"

"It looks like an Azalea Banks Snapchat in there."

Of course Darius was fucking awesome. And I hope they never mention/try to explain why him and Paperboy were fighting.

Amazing start to the season.

*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

Cotdamn this shit did not play around. Earn is still a goofy nigga.

anyone else wish they hadn't read any of the profile articles in the last few days? I liked that New Yorker piece but it would've been cool to go into the ep with 0 prior knowledge

Still, excited to see where the season takes us

So I was thoroughly surprised throughout the episode.

and then folks said there was spoilers so I was glad I never finished it.

Wack.

Granted it's affected my interest in pop culture because I generally don't read recaps, but going in cold improves the experiencing taking in the movie/tv show.

I was laughing and tripping so hard.... Love this show, glad it's back.... Katt needs more work, his acting was pretty awesome.....

I was dying.

This third episode kinda mirrored the third episode of season 1.

is willie al's father? I kinda got that vibe.

that picture Earn looked at had Willy, Earn's Mom and another Lady who I thought was supposed to be Paperboi's Mom.

They never outright said either way.

but i don't think there was anything said or shown to make me think that...i'll have to rewatch

Before this how is over, he's mos def gonna catch some hands.

especially when you consider how the episode started.

I mainly hope Van's character wasn't just written off the show since the show is mainly from Earn's perspective.

...a lesson.

How can you be all about yourself when your broke and lame.

And this is comin' from a nigga who smokes, how in the fuck are you on probation for smoking, broke and just a herb?

I mean if I'm in Earn's situation, I'd try to be the most charming motherfucker on Earth. Instead, this hoe is all up in his feelings on some "What about mmmmmeeeee?" bullshit.

If he wants respect, he should listen to his uncle. Bum ass nigga.

He's leading a life where he is constantly making compromises and doing things he doesn't want to do like not having a home and feeling on the edge of being a failure in life in his eyes .

I'm sure on some level he wants a sense of stability and normalcy and so his relationship with Van is predictable and safe in that it doesn't challenge him to mature or grow as a man, partner, and father. He doesn't have to confront his self-blame and depression when he's with Val. It's his one break from the purgatory of his life.

So, not being willing to compromise is really him announcing that he's tired of making compromises or giving to others. Since the only thing approximating love in his life is the time with Van, the last thing he wants to do is spend it giving to someone or conforming to meet someone else's needs when he really needs to spend energy devoting that attention to himself. O letting Val in to his interior life so her love can help him regain some direction.

But Van was right to disconnect from him because she's been supportive and simply wanted what anyone in a semi-committed relationship wants which is to have the other half of the relationship affirm you.

Earn was really being a dick, tho.


I think the one theme in this season which has been different from last season is that the characters in the season are all either actively or passively contributing to their own downfall.

Last year, it seemed their environment was keep Earn, Al, and Darius from reaching their potential. But Al's meeting at the branding company and now Earn with the gift card and now with Val has been digging their own graves because of self-doubt and also depression in a mild form.

It's harder to root for them this year because it's hard to pull for someone who's holding themselves back but I can say it's been really compelling.

I can't seem to keep character's names straight. I had to look in bwood's post for her name. And still got it wrong.

After all that?

Great score by Flying Lotus and Thundercat

..flawless execution.

Between this episode and Legion, FX is bringing surreal horror back.

>Between this episode and Legion, FX is bringing surreal

and the 2nd and 3rd seasons are insane, but i hear you.

Talk about outside the box. Love it. Dying at the Sammy Sosa stuff.

Keep the crack raps up that shit is double plus what-ever-the-fuck.
Everybody's afraid to say that it just sucks to watch talented motherfuckers pretending they sell drugs - EL-P

He look like whats under a scab....

Can't wait to see how this plays out in Season 3 as Al still looks a tad annoyed with Earn.

But either way, it'll be interesting if they'll place Season 3 in the middle of the tour or flash forward a little bit. Maybe show how Al and Earn's characters have grown (closer together or apart).

Why towards Clark?

Clark getting out of trouble means he's even more grimy than he seemed and could be a real threat to Paper Boi.

First off, I love the show. Especially season 1. Damn near perfect.

Rewatching season 2. Fubu....

GREAT episode as far as what it was trying to get across.

But the musical selections spanning an entire decade.....why?

They played Al B Sure - Night and Day(88) during the cafeteria scene. There was an Aquemini(98)poster on the wall at the beginning. They played Pharcyde- Passing Me By(92) in the hallway scene towards the end. They played Nas-If I Ruled the World(96) at the end of the episode. That’s 4 distinct eras in terms of musical sound, fashion, etc. right there. With a couple others mixed in separating them! Fubu was a thing from maybe 95/96 to 99? So the episode has to take place in that time period. It’s a detail, but damn. It’s an easy one to get right, isn’t it? You can’t just play music that covers a decade span. That’s something some dumb ass kid on some “hey, 90s! Hammer and DMX!” as if shit didn’t change drastically almost every year or two back then, would think.

These guys should get that right, shouldn’t they?

just kidding, sort of. i notice things like that, too, and it makes me question how people get those cushy music supervisor jobs or if it's the filmmakers pushing their preferences. honestly, i only saw the episode once, so any of that could be possible, but realistically you are right, and storywise the unrealistic selections show how memory betrays us, that the past is not always exactly how we remember but how we shape it to be.
