‘Atlanta’: 6 Things You Need to Remember From Last Season Before the Season 3 Premiere

variety.com:

Kate Aurthur editorThe last time “Atlanta” was on the air — on May 10, 2018 — Donald Trump was still president, no one had heard of COVID and the show’s creator, Donald Glover, debuted as Lando Calrissian in “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” which was released later that month.

If you can’t remember such a time, don’t worry: Neither can anyone else.Season 3 of “Atlanta” — delayed at length by both Glover’s schedule and by the pandemic — is scheduled to premiere on FX on Thursday with two episodes (they’ll stream the next day on Hulu).

And luckily, the show, which earned Glover acting and directing Emmy awards for its first season, filmed Seasons 3 and 4 back-to-back.

Unluckily, Glover announced last month that the show’s fourth season — premiering in the fall — will be “Atlanta’s” last. But none of those facts help you remember where the second season of “Atlanta” left off, so let’s get down to business now.The second season of the show, “Atlanta Robbin’ Season” — so coined by Darius (LaKeith Stanfield) in Episode 1 as he surveys the aftermath of a deadly crime and says, “Robbin’ season: Christmas approaches, and everybody gotta eat” — veered inventively from the structure of the show’s first season.
