‘Atlanta’ Wins Peabody Award For Its Final Season

The popular FX show Atlanta has won a Peabody Award, it was announced on Tuesday, May 9. It is a prestigious honor for the show, which wrapped after four seasons last fall.

Atlanta also won a Peabody in 2016, its inaugural season. The 2023 awards have 35 winners across all genres of TV entertainment.

The series, created by actor and singer-songwriter Donald Glover, delves into the lives of three friend navigating life in Atlanta.

The awards said the show allows Glover to play “a shiftless Princeton dropout trying to manage his cousin’s burgeoning rap career, won a Peabody for its first season in 2016 for its sharp, evocative depiction of its eponymous city and the cast of characters making their way through it. Now, in its final seasons, the groundbreaking series has transcended its original success by introducing an anthology-style structure in season three that deviates largely from the central cast, allowing the final two installments of Atlanta to display a wealth of creativity and insight.”
