After two seasons, Atlanta was renewed for a third and fourth season in 2020. The fourth season will be its last, with Glover telling Variety, “All good things end. It felt like it was time to end,” on the red carpet at the SXSW premiere of Atlanta season 3 in March 2022. “I don’t like it when people [are] 40 pretending like they’re 15 and shit. It’s annoying,” he joked. Later, he added, “We just wanted to make a Black fairytale. I remember sitting in the writers’ room and being like, ‘What do we write about?’ We just wanted to do short stories. Something I would want to watch.”

As fans surely know by now, when Glover sets his mind to do something on his own terms, it’s going to be great. So without any further ado, check out our tips for how to watch Atlanta and see the magic unfold below.
