When Will FX Announce Atlanta Season 3 Release Date?
Atlanta Season 2 released on 1st March 2018 and smoothly concluded its journey on 10th May 2018. The series consists of 11 episodes where each episode has a running time of 23-35 minutes. Creators gave the green light to the third season just after season 2 wrapped up with a predicted 2019 premiere date. But at the beginning of 2019, FX president John Landgraf revealed that the edition had been temporarily called off because of Glover’s unimaginable complex life giving rise to a scheduling clash, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
In August 2019, FX disclosed that Atlanta Season 4 had been renewed while the filming of the third season hadn’t begun yet. At the same time, Variety revealed that season 3 and season 4 would comprise 8 episodes. In January 2020, Landgraf shared that two more episodes had been added to season 3, making it a 10-episodic drama, and also disclosed that filming of seasons would not occur on a successive note, granting 2021 release date to the fourth season, as per Deadline.
Thereafter, the COVID-19 pandemic arrived and forced the creators to shut down the filming. But now, finally, the shooting of Atlanta Season 3 has begun, Glover has currently posted a pic from the sets of the series. He also talked about the fate of the third season. Though he wasn’t entirely sure, the star anticipated that season 3 can be released by the first quarter of 2022. The video also reveals that Atlanta will be comparatively shot in Europe.

How Will Atlanta Season 3 Plot Be?
The drama narrates the story of Earn amid his everyday life in Atlanta, Georgia where he puts efforts to prove himself in front of his ex-loved one, who is a mom of his kid. He also tries to reassure his guardians including his cousin Alfred, who raps under juncture “Paper Boi”. After leaving Princeton University, Earn has no funds and shelter. That’s why he spent some days at his father’s residence while the rest ones at his girlfriend’s house.
As soon as he realizes that his cousin is going to become a star, he seriously tries to build a bond with her so that he can make his and his daughter’s life better.
The second season finishes where Earn, Alfred, and Clark County can be seen on a plane.
