10 on FX.
The rap dramedy set in Atlanta that Donald Glover has described as a “Twin Peaks with rappers” called Atlanta finally premieres tonight.
To get you in the mood, here’s a really pretty montage from the show that really shows what “Twin Peaks with rappers” might look like.
After several months of teases and promos, the hip hop dramedy Atlanta from Donald Glover has finally got a full trailer that really shows off all the colors the show will be painting with on the canvas of Atlanta’s hip hop scene.
With Empire already being well established at this point, Atlanta looks like, from the trailer, it could definitely be a more nuanced and satirical contemporary.
Look for the series premiere of Atlanta on September 6th on FX.
In the absence of Louie, FX has filled that void pretty well with Baskets, the upcoming Better Things, and the also upcoming Atlanta from Donald Glover.
So far, this is the longest promo yet for Atlanta, but gives the best indication of the tone you should expect from the show that has been waiting a long time to come to TV.
Look for the series premiere on Thursday, September 8th on FX.
For the last few years, Donald Glover has been tinkering with a show mysteriously known as Atlanta. Any sort of previews, teaser, clips, etc. have been scarce and all anyone really knew about it was that it would be a dramedy set in Atlanta’s thriving rap scene.
Well, as the show now has its sights set on a September premiere on FX, the veil has been lifted a little with the very first promo has just been posted online.
The story of Atlanta will follow Donald Glover as one of two cousins making their way up through the aforementioned rap scene in Atlanta. The promo doesn’t really reveal much else, but definitely sets a tone not unlike FX’s Louie.

So, between FX and FXx, FX Networks will now have a rock and a rap comedy series.
FXx already had Denis Leary’s Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll and now, as perhaps a nice compliment, Donald Glover’s dramedy that follows the lives in and around Atlanta’s rap scene, Atlanta, will go to series at FX.
As many folks on Capitol Hill often relate their lives more to Veep than House of Cards, we wonder if the rap world will similarly relate to Atlanta over Empire.
Look for Atlanta in 2016.

A couple of TV seasons ago, it was announced that Donald Glover was developing a music industry centric comedy series at FX.
Nothing was heard about the project for awhile, but, luckily, FX has ordered a pilot of Glover’s “Atlanta” this week. It’ll focus on the rap scene in Atlanta, GA and the crazed life that goes with it.
If this goes to series, it’ll be fun to compare Atlanta and Empire on Fox.
After announcing the brand spankin’ new Hulu channel known as Comedy Dynamics from New Wave, the official launch of said channel just came today.
So, you can watch clips and/or entire specials from:
Todd Glass
Tom Segura
Moshe Kasher
Kathleen Madigan
Iliza Shlesinger
Dana Gould
Donald Glover
The Sklar Brothers
Tom Rhodes
Gary Gulman
Dave Foley
Harland Williams
and so much more
So enjoy the rest of your day watching all the stand up you can handle and what’s sure to be more to come.
Donald Glover Might Be Returning To ‘Community’
Based off an e-mail you’d get if you sign-up for more info on a tour that Donald Glover/Childish Gambino might be going on, Troy Barnes very well might be returning to Greendale Community College.
Whether it’s true or not, you can’t help but think what Dan Harmon will cook up for a Troy return.
FX Enlisting Donald Glover To Create/Star In Music-Themed Comedy Series
Among FX’s latest projects that they’re developing to fill their programming schedule when FXx launches, a Donald Glover music based comedy series is definitely one of the more intriguing ones.
Hopefully, this project will get farther than the Dave Grohl/Dana Gould rock comedy that was going to happen.
