FX’s Atlanta, created by and starring Donald Glover (a.k.a. Childish Gambino), is primed to be one of the coolest, most stylistically progressive new television series coming this fall.
After dropping a host of 30-second teaser trailers over the past few months, the show just released a longer, split screen vignette that captures a day in the life of Glover’s character through a hypnotic lens. Unlike most trailers, which are filled with quick cuts and action shots, this one is devoted to establishing the series’ mood—a mood that is very specific to the world (and the city) on which it’s based.
Debuting exclusively at live events promoting the show, the trailer is now available for your viewing pleasure. Check it out (below), and tune into the premiere of Atlanta on Tuesday, September 6 at 10 p.m. on FX.
