‘Atlanta’ Season 4 is Coming to FX, Will Have Eight Episodes

Atlanta season 4

Donald Glover‘s multi-Emmy Award-winning show Atlanta has been renewed for a fourth season at FX, long before its third season even arrives on the cable channel.

The series – a comedy/drama hybrid which was compared to Twin Peaks in the lead-up to its premiere but is actually unlike anything else on television – will now film both its third and fourth seasons starting this spring.

TVLine brings news about the Atlanta season 4 renewal, and the fact that production on seasons 3 and 4 will commence in the spring. It’s unclear if the seasons will be shot simultaneously or back-to-back, but perhaps it will be a combination of both, like how the Russo brothers shot Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Both the third and fourth seasons will consist of eight episodes each. The first season was made up of ten episodes, while season 2 had eleven.

I’m glad to see Glover and his collaborators take a “less is more” approach here, because Atlanta‘s unique tone seems like it would be difficult to sustain in the long run with increased episode counts. By dropping the count to eight episodes each over the next two seasons and adopting the model often used by British TV shows, it should help prevent Atlanta from running out of steam too early.

Donald Glover stars in the show alongside Brian Tyree Henry, Lakeith Stanfield, and Zazie Beetz. Glover created and executive produces the series, and fellow executive producers include Paul Simms, Dianne McGunigle, Stephen Glover, and Hiro Murai, the latter of whom has directed several episodes and has become one of the hottest directors working in television today.

FX’s entertainment chief Eric Schrier released a statement about the renewal:

“What more can be said about Atlanta than the critical acclaim and accolades that Donald, Paul, Dianne, Stephen and Hiro have earned for two exceptional seasons of what is clearly one of the best shows on television. This group of collaborators and cast have created one of the most original, innovative stories of this generation and we are proud to be their partners.”

(Welcome to  The Soapbox , the space where we get loud, feisty, political, and opinionated about anything and everything. In this edition: Avengers: Endgame doesn’t honor its female characters in a way that actually carries weight. ) There’s no question that Marvel has a women problem. In the past decade and over the course of its 22 movies, only one of them was led by a woman, and one had a woman sharing the title. But the studio has been eagerly trying to make up for it in recent years, releasing Captain Marvel to critical and box office acclaim , and slowly introducing female fan favorites — some of whom would go on to get double billing in the big established movies. As we headed into  Avengers: Endgame , the Marvel Cinematic Universe was filled to the brim with strong, complex, rich female characters — some super, some not — who were on course to outshine even some of the male heroes. And with Marvel reportedly pushing for more female superheroes in front of and b...

‘Ghostbusters 2020’ First Look: Jason Reitman Reveals the Film’s Family As Production Begins

Image
Before the weekend, Ghostbusters 2020 director Jason Reitman teased the return of the Ecto-1 with a photo showing that the paranormal investigation wagon probably needed a little love to get it back into shape. But he saved an even better look at the forthcoming sequel for later in the day with a Ghostbusters 2020 first look photo revealing cast members Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Carrie Coon as the family at the center of the story. Check it out below. Ghostbusters 2020 First Look Photo Mckenna Grace looks like she’ll make quite the new Ghostbusters, which is good since Reitman’s entire inspiration for this movie came when he envisioned a 12-year old girl sporting a proton pack. Grace has a look that feels reminiscent of Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters. Is there any chance that this family turns out to be connected to Harold Ramis’ character? Perhaps he had an estranged daughter who never knew him. As you can see in the photo posted to Twitter , the film’s wo...
