Not too much is known about the highly anticipated third season of Atlanta, but judging from the latest look at it, there’s going to be some more ominous tones expressed throughout, something that the show also has delved into at various points in its history. The series is led by Glover, Brian Tyree Henry as Paper Boi, LaKeith Stanfield as Darius Epps, and Zazie Beetz as Vanessa.

Atlanta tells the story of two cousins named Earn Marks and Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles. Glover stars as Earn, who is a Princeton dropout who now manages his cousin’s burgeoning rap career. He along with his cousin are trying to find their way to the top of the local rap scene, all the while dealing with the many real and absurd troubles black folk face in the city.

The FX show is executive produced by Stephen Glover, Paul Simms, Dianne McGunigle, and Hiro Murai. The first two seasons were an instant hit to viewers, with the first season winning two major Golden Globe Awards including Best Comedy Series. As for the second season, it earned multiple Emmy nominations including Outstanding Comedy Series.
