Fans looking for AtlantaFX Season 3 will have to wait longer than expected. That’s because the hit show has been delayed, according to the FX channel’s chief executive.
“I don’t know whether we’ll have Atlanta or not. The writers are back working right now, thank God.” FX chief John Landgraf told the Hollywood Reporter.
AtlantaFx will be delayed, studio exec says
The sad news means the show won’t be around for the 2019 Emmy nominations, where it has garnered critical acclaim.
The reason for much of the delay centers on the show’s star, Donald Glover, according to Landgraf.
“As you might imagine, Donald Glover is sort of the king of all media, and he just has had an incredibly complicated life. He’s had personal things he’s had to deal with, from injuries to other things I’d rather not say publicly that just have to do with not with his personal life but his extended family. So I think one of the things that is just a reality of television today is you have to wait. We have so many things now that don’t cycle back on a regular basis.”
In December, while on the last leg of his “This is America Tour,” Glover told the crowd at Madison Square Garden that he had just lost his father in death.
“I lost my father a couple weeks ago,” the award-winning actor-singer-songwriter shared on stage. “And I wanted to play him some of the new songs… But he didn’t wanna hear ’em, ’cause he was like, ‘I know they’ll be great.'”
Landgraf indicated that he could force the show back on the air, but at creative cost. “From my standpoint, I wish for the fans as well as for us that we could get everything back on an annual basis but, again, you just have to make a decision about quantity over quality at a certain point — and we’re just erring on the side of quality.”
AtlantaFx is about three friends who help one of them navigate the rap music industry. In addition to Glover, the TV show stars Brian Tyree Henry, Lakeith Stanfield, and Zazie Beetz. Here are the characters they play:
AtlantaFx cast & characters
- Donald Glover: Earnest “Earn” Marks, a young Princeton dropout trying to manage the rap career of his cousin.
- Brian Tyree Henry: Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles, who is trying to make it in the rap world being managed by his cousin Earn.
- Lakeith Stanfield: Darius Epps, Alfred’s eccentric best friend and partner who provides much of the comedic moments on the show.
- Zazie Beetz: Vanessa “Van” Keefer, Earn’s on-again-off-again girlfriend and the mother of their daughter Lottie. She’s also of Afro-German heritage, as we learn on the show.
The second season of AtlantaFx titled Robbin’ Season, premiered on March 1, 2018 and won critics’ praise and widened the fanbase.

If you know about the Hop City Craft Beer & Wine team, you know that fresh brews are in their blood. Their new concept, Boxcar, is about to do for food what Hop City does for beer in Atlanta. Boxcar is set to open on Friday, March 1, 2019.
Read more: We tried Boxcar’s Beef Burger
The new Atlanta restaurant will open in the West End’s Lee + White development at 1020 White St. SW. Boxcar will join other establishments there such as Monday Night Brewing, Wild Heaven Beer, Honeysuckle Gelato and more.
Boxcar brewpub opens in Atlanta’s West End
Boxcar will be the second restaurant in metro Atlanta for the Hop City team. Inspired by urban freight train and railroad vibes, the establishment will be the style of grafitti chic. Gracing the walls will be a mural from well-known Atlanta artist Catlanta.
What’s on the menu at Boxcar?
Boxcar will specialize in well-made pub food i.e. neighborhood-friendly burgers, sandwiches and salads. For hearty eaters, large plates sourced from local farmers will be on the menu weekly.
Menu favorites will include: the “Lobstah Roll,” Yuzu Fried Chicken and Roasted Beet Carpaccio as well as elevated bar classics like the Soft Baked Pretzel and the Boxcar Beef Burger.
For craft beer heads, Boxcar will have a team of “beer nerds” to help patrons choose among 80 rotating draft choices at two different beer, wine and cocktail bars.
“Our retail space will be a little more curated on the beer side with closer to 1,000 choices compared to the 1,900 or so at our original Westside store,” Owner Kraig Torres said in a written statement. “It will still be the best our local, national and worldwide brewers have to offer…with a focus on freshness. You’ll also see a generous selection of small-production wines hand-picked by our equally-passionate wine team. We hope we have created a warm, friendly environment for enthusiasts of all things food and drink.”
Boxcar is a Lee + White development, the local company behind some of the Atlanta Beltline’s most successful food and beverage projects.
Boxcar joins a successful stable of Atlanta brewpubs under the Hop City umbrella, including Monday Night Brewing, Wild Heaven and Best End Brewpub.
Where is Boxcar located in Atlanta?
Boxcar is located in historic West End at 1020 White St. SW. Here is a map to help you find it.
What are Boxcar’s hours of operation?
Boxcar will be open Sunday from 11 am to 10 pm, Wednesday and Thursday from 5 pm to 10 pm and Friday and Saturday from 11 am to 12 am. Hop City’s retail area will be open Monday-Thursday from 11 am to 10 pm, Friday and Saturday from 11 am to 12 am and Sunday from 12:00 pm to 10 pm.
Showing its humanitarian side, a portion of Boxcar’s sales will go to the Atlanta Mission. Hop City will also be partnering with WorkSource Georgia to help keep longtime West End residents working to earn a living wage.

In partnership with the Atlanta Ballet, R. Alexander presents Balletomane, the upcoming exhibition featuring ballerina paintings and portraits by Spain’s Antonio Torres.
The show will be on display at R. Alexander from February 1- March 2, 2018. In conjunction with Atlanta Ballet, a special opening reception will be held at R. Alexander on Friday, February 1st from 6- 9 pm and Saturday, February 2nd from 1-4 pm. A percentage of purchases will go towards the Ballet’s advancement.
Opening Reception of Balletomane: Paintings by Antonio Torres in Atlanta
Balletomane, defined as a ballet enthusiast, aptly describes Torres’ devotion to dance. Throughout his evolution as a painter, he has dedicated himself to one recurring theme: ballet. Dancers from all over the world showcase graceful poses and elegant costumes in each captivating painting. Fascinated with ballerinas’ patterns of movement and psychological dedication, Torres skillfully captures their mastery of performance by depicting their varied demeanors both on and off the stage.
While Torres portrays notable dancers from all over the world, his work is categorized into three distinct series and each inspired by a different ballerina. The Contrasts series provide striking distinctions between light and shade frequently placed in intimate settings.

Blue Dream paintings convey the beauty of ballet through various expressionistic techniques, while the Blue Rainbow series incorporates surrealism to depict dreamlike performances. Through this diversity, Torres captures the multifaceted aspects of ballet and its dedicated performers.
Torres personalizes private moments, and this exclusive access to intimate views offstage are a hallmark of his work. Aware of the rare circumstances accessed to him via his friendships with numerous ballerinas, Torres graciously remarks, “I thank God for having the opportunity to be surrounded by so many talents behind the scenes.” Though visually divergent, Contrasts, Blue Dream, and Blue Rainbow unite in inviting viewers behind the scenes to share his intimate point of view.
