He continued, “The fourth and final season is slated to debut in the same manner in the fall. The new season is everything you’d expect from Atlanta – which is to say expect the unexpected. Sit back and enjoy the trip.”
The 10-episode season three is set to drop on FX on March 24 and itsalso the first time when the series will be available for in-season streaming on Hulu.
Reacting to the news, Glover said he has no regrets about wrapping the series. “To be honest, I wanted to end it after season two,” he said during a Q&A with TV critics. “Death is natural...when the conditions are ripe for something, they happen, and when the conditions aren’t right for it, they don’t happen.”
