Donald Glover is the man of the moment, and he is keeping it all the way real about the city that made him.
FreddyO caught up with the Atlanta creator and star ahead of the show’s highly anticipated return, and asked the question every fan wants answered: what was the most hoodest moment on the set? Glover’s answer does not disappoint — a hilarious, only-in-Atlanta story that proves that for all the Emmy glory, this show stays rooted in the real.
The timing could not be bigger. Atlanta: Robbin’ Season premieres on FX this Thursday, March 1, and the stakes have never been higher. After a debut season that dominated the critics’ lists and earned Glover two historic Emmys — Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy and Outstanding Directing, making him the first Black director to win the award — the whole industry is watching to see what Earn, Paper Boi, Darius and Van get into next.
Shot on location around the city, the series has become a love letter to Atlanta’s music scene and street culture, blending surreal comedy with moments of startling truth. Glover, who also performs as Childish Gambino, has called the new season bigger, bolder and stranger — and if this interview is any indication, the cast had just as much fun making it as fans will have watching it.
