The third season of the American television series Atlanta premiered on March 24, 2022, on FX. The season is produced by Gilga, 343 Incorporated, MGMT. Entertainment, and FXP, with Donald Glover, Paul Simms, Dianne McGunigle, Stephen Glover, Hiro Murai, and Stefani Robinson serving as executive producers. Donald Glover serves as creator and showrunner, writing two episodes and directing three episodes of the season.
The season was ordered in June 2018.[1] It stars Glover, Brian Tyree Henry, LaKeith Stanfield, and Zazie Beetz. The series follows Earn during his daily life in Atlanta, Georgia, as he tries to redeem himself in the eyes of his ex-girlfriend Van, who is also the mother of his daughter Lottie; as well as his parents and his cousin Alfred, who raps under the stage name "Paper Boi"; and Darius, Alfred's eccentric right-hand man. The season takes place in Europe, with the characters in the middle of a European tour. The European cities featured throughout the season include Amsterdam, London, and Paris. The season also explores events happening back in America outside of the core characters in several stand-alone episodes with a vignette format. Fans and critics have speculated that these episodes are depictions of Earn's dreams.[2] These episodes take place in Atlanta and New York.
The season premiered on March 24, 2022, on FX. The season premiere received 0.310 million viewers with a 0.1 ratings share in the 18–49 demographics. The season ended on May 20, 2022, with an average of 0.25 million viewers, which was a 61% decrease from the previous season.[3] The season has received critical acclaim, with television commentators lauding the performances, directing, writing, and storytelling. However, the standalone episodes have garnered a more mixed response as the season has gone on; whilst they were initially praised, as they have progressed criticisms have gone towards the abrupt changes in settings, the anthological nature of each episode, as well as the main cast not appearing in any of the standalone episodes. In August 2019, two and a half years before the season started airing, FX renewed the series for a fourth and final season.[4][5]

Two friends, a white man named Earnest and an unnamed black man, go fishing on Lake Lanier, where they discuss its history and what it means to be white. Earnest reveals himself to be a spirit and black hands drag the black man under the lake. The sequence is revealed to be the dream of Loquareeous, a black schoolboy who gets in trouble at his predominantly white school for dancing on a desk. A teacher witnesses his grandfather slapping him, and his mother throws him out of the house when child protective services come. He is forced to move in with a white lesbian couple with three black foster children that are clearly terrified of them, and the couple begins behaving strangely, shortening his name to "Larry" and forcing the children to work in their garden. When a black CPS agent comes and is appalled at their poor living conditions, the couple kills her and takes the children out on the road. Realizing they are planning to kill the children and themselves, Loquareeous smuggles the other kids out when they pull over and leaps out of the car just before it drives into Lake Lanier. He is welcomed home by his mother and eats some spaghetti that she left for him, only to turn around when he hears something behind him. In a hotel room, Earn wakes up in bed with a white woman, implying the events of the episode to be his dream. This episode is inspired by the real-life 2018 murder-suicide of the Hart family.[7] Closing song: "Brown Rice" by Don Cherry | |||||||

Al refuses to perform at a venue when he sees his white audience in blackface, forcing Earn to flee from the vengeful owner, who beats up a random man in blackface after being unable to find him. While out thrift shopping, Van and Darius find an address in a coat that leads them on a scavenger hunt, ending when they arrive at a living funeral for a man that resembles Tupac Shakur.

Earn meets an investor whose eagerness to please black people is being taken advantage of by a young black artist, but decides to join in scamming him after a talk with Al. He notices Van is behaving strangely and tries to talk to her, but she brushes him off. Fernando invites Al to play poker with him, but refuses to hand over his money when Al wins.

Forced to move into a hotel, Marshall meets Earnest, who has also been sued and claims that they are now "free" from the "curse" of whiteness. As Marshall has a change of heart looking at pictures of Sheniqua with her children, Earnest shoots himself in the head and falls into the hotel pool. Some time later, Marshall works as a waiter, where a portion of his check is given to Sheniqua.

As he unnerves Earn by quickly deducing the unease he feels about his place amongst black people, Al asks to talk to him alone and explains that he has not written a new song in months, having been struck by inspiration before the show and recording a new one on the missing phone. As he expresses fear that he may never get his passion for production back if he does not get the phone, Wiley performs one of his own songs for Al, who is quietly affected but outwardly unimpressed. The group leaves the venue on a bus, only for Socks to pull out the phone without anyone seeing and throw it in the trash.

Darius takes the company's white head of hospitality out for jollof rice, which she enjoys so much that she buys the restaurant out and reopens it with a more corporate identity. Earn encounters Van in a hotel, pretending to be married to her to keep her from getting in trouble, and the two end up having sex. He wakes up to find her gone.

Production
Development
The series was renewed for a third season in June 2018.[1] FX Networks and FX Productions programming president Nick Grad commented, “Atlanta is phenomenal, achieving and exceeding what few television series have done. With Atlanta Robbin' Season, Donald and his collaborators elevated the series to even greater heights, building on the enormous success of their award-winning first season. We're grateful to the producers and our extraordinary cast and crew for achieving this level of excellence, and we share the excitement with our audience about the third season knowing they will continue to take us to unexpected and thrilling places."[17]
In August 2019, FX confirmed that the season would consist of eight episodes.[18] In January 2020, FX upped the episode order to ten episodes.[19]
Writing
Before production started, Stephen Glover said that the season would focus on more female-centric stories, "I think we have some cool ideas in season three that'll put some more women on screen. There's a very specific perspective from the Atlanta woman that I think we're gonna explore in season three."[20]
Regarding about setting the season in Europe, Donald Glover said "It's our point of view; it's not really about the place. Although in Season 4, it makes a very heavy resurgence, as far as the actual place. Atlanta is a state of mind. Europe solidified how we felt while writing Season 3. Director Hiro Murai calls it our maximum season."[21]
In 2020, Donald Glover drew attention when he claimed that the third and fourth season "are going to be some of the best television ever made. Sopranos only ones who can touch us."[22] When questioned about the statement, Glover said "I'm not backing down from that shit. I'm holding my nuts out on that shit. I just want audiences to know this shit is good. It's high quality shit."[21]
Part of the season is divided on anthology episodes, consisting of "Three Slaps", "The Big Payback", "Trini 2 De Bone", and "Rich Wigga, Poor Wigga". Executive producer Stefani Robinson explained the decision, "it just sort of felt like the natural progression of what we wanted to try creatively. Donald has done such a good job of making us feel like the show can really be whatever we want it to be in terms of creativity. He's referred to it a couple of times as a playground or at least this is how it feels. You don't have to be shackled to this idea of making a more traditional sitcom or comedy structure. This is something very different."[23]
Filming
In January 2019, Zazie Beetz stated that filming for the season would be delayed due to the cast's schedule.[24] In August 2019, FX confirmed that the season would start filming on spring 2020, filming back-to-back with the fourth season.[25] However, production was shut down amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.[26] Production was set to resume in April 2021, with the series planning to film in Europe.[27] Donald Glover confirmed that production on the season started on April 2, 2021.[28] In August 2021, FX confirmed that the season wrapped filming.[29]
Release
Broadcast
In February 2019, Chairman of FX, John Landgraf, confirmed that the season would be delayed and that it would miss eligibility for the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards.[30] In January 2020, Landgraf said that the season would air in January 2021, with the fourth season airing later that year.[31] However, due to production pausing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Landgraf said the season would not be ready for its intended January 2021 premiere date, later signaling that the season would premiere in 2022.[32][33] In December 2021, FX finally announced that the season would premiere on March 24, 2022.[34]
Marketing
In October 2021, a teaser trailer for the season was released.[35] A new trailer debuted in December 2021.[36] The first two episodes premiered at the 2022 South by Southwest on March 19, 2022.[37]
Reception
Critical reception
Atlanta season 3 (2022): Percentage of positive critics' reviews tracked by the website Rotten Tomatoes[38] |
Based upon the first two episodes given to critics, the third season has received critical acclaim. The season has a score of 93 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on 24 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[39] On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 96%, based on 130 reviews, with an average rating of 8.6/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Atlanta takes Paper Boi and his entourage out of Georgia, but this inspired third season proves that the more things change, the more they stay weird."[38]
Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter gave it a highly positive review and wrote, "no other show on TV is doing the thing that Atlanta does, with its doses of humor, surrealism, horror, travelogue and hip-hop as genre-blending starting points for an uncomfortable exploration of racial identity in America."[40] Liz Shannon Miller of Consequence wrote that the series "remains as ethereal and shocking and fascinating as ever" and "in just the first two episodes of Season 3, the creative team delivers at least a half-dozen moments you'll never forget. Atlanta is a gift."[41]
