Donald Glover seems to be all over the news lately, but we’re not complaining one bit. His new television show Atlanta just got its first trailer.
First it was that Glover has been added to Spider-Man: Homecoming in a mysterious role. Now it’s the trailer for Atlanta, his new television show that he created, executive produces, and will star in.
Entertainment Weekly brings us the exclusive:
The trailer doesn’t tell us much about the show other than Donald Glover’s character Earnest must be really, really tired. He continually wakes up in all sorts of different situations, whether its on a bed or the floor or in a hammock, and surrounded by all sorts of people, like a small child, his friends playing video games, or a couple curled up on a bunk bed above him.
The synopsis for the show currently reads, “Starring and created by Donald Glover, Atlanta revolves around two cousins on their way up through the Atlanta rap scene whose opposing views on art versus commerce, success and race will make their quest anything but easy.”
Glover is, of course, also known as his stage name Childish Gambino. The actor/musician somehow balances his rap career with various stints on television and in film, and so it should come as no surprise that his life and experiences may influence Atlanta‘s development throughout the series.
The half-hour comedy will premiere on FX on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET, starting September 6. Ten full episodes of the series have already been ordered by the network. The series also stars Brian Tyree Henry as Alfred Miles, LaKeith Lee Stanfield as Darius, Zazie Beetz as Van, and Bret E. Benson as Officer Gandy.
