Atlanta: Characters and Cast
Earnest “Earn” Marks is played by Donald Glover (“Community”). Brian Tyree Henry (“Vice Principals”) will play Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles. Darius Epps portrays Lakeith Stanfield (“Knives Out”) and Earn’s girlfriend Vanessa “Van” Keefer portrays Zazie Beetz (“Deadpool 2”).
Atlanta: Production
The idea for the series came from Donald Glover himself. Seasons 3 and 4 of the series have already been confirmed. Season 3 is scheduled for release in 2022.
Atlanta has received many awards and nominations, including two Golden Globe Awards for Best Television Series and Best Actor, and two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Director for a Comedy Series.
Glover’s Emmy for Outstanding Direction in a Comedy Series was the first ever awarded to an African American and his work as writer and executive producer of the series was recognized.
The series is notable for having an all-African American writing team, a rarity on US television. The writing team consists of Glover himself, his brother Stephen Glover and members of his rap collective ‘Royalty’ including Fam Udeorji (Glover’s manager), Ibra Ake (Glover’s longtime photographer), Jamal Olori, Stefani Robinson (a writer for ‘Man Seeking Woman “), and Taofik Kolade.
Atlanta: alternatives
As alternatives to “Atlanta” we recommend “Empire”, “Power” and “The Get Down”.
“Empire” is about hip-hop producer Lucious Lyon, who deals with his successor as he doesn’t have long to live.
“Power” is about James “Ghost” St. Patrick, a nightclub owner and leader of a drug empire.
And in “The Get Down” a group of young people in New York in the 70s experience the birth of hip-hop.
