When Is Episode 3 Coming Of FX’s Atlanta

That’s when we can expect to see Season 3 episodes, according to comments from FX executive John Landgraf.

He said in a recent interview that the comedy-drama’s third season just wrapped filming. That means Season 4 has begun shooting in earnest.

Landgraf, speaking during the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, said, “We haven’t locked down the scheduling for Season 3 yet as it just finished shooting. It was shot primarily in Europe. It’s in post-production and it’s a lengthy post-production process and part of that is because they’re currently in production of Season 4 in Atlanta. All of the scripts for that season have been written.”

Atlanta was a top-rated show featuring Donald Glover and Lakeith Stanfield. But filming never resumed after Glover lost his father.

The series production team along with actors all are set to travel to Europe, where both Seasons 3 and 4 will reportedly be shot. Filming is expected to begin on April 5.

When Will Atlanta FX Return? Read This

So when will Atlanta return? Glover took to social media in April 2021 to say:

“Atlanta Season 3 comes out probably the beginning of next year.”

Glover made the comments in a random musing released on audio.

The popular show began production in March 2021. Glover signed an eight-figure deal with Amazon that includes his own content channel on Prime.

Both of the next two seasons are being filmed one after the next, which is something that they had planned to do even before the pandemic began.

In early 2020, John Landgraf, chairman of FX Networks, spoke at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, California.

Landgraf said that the next two seasons will debut in 2021. But not only, that he indicated that Seasons 3 and 4 will be linked as a “Part 1 & 2” arrangement.

What we also know is that Season 3 will be 10 episodes and Season 4 will be eight episodes. If it’s going to be all part of one story arch, it makes sense that the seasons will be all shot in sequence.

According to Esquire magazine, the show’s new seasons hint that they will focus on the music career of Paper Boi, played by the magnificent Brian Tyree Henry.

Landgraf also tipped his hand to let us know that a large part of Seasons 3, 4 or both will be shot in a foreign country.

Final Thoughts

AtlantaFX is obviously one of the greatest comedy series on cable TV in the last 20 years, but the show isn’t the only hot commodity filmed here. The city of Atlanta is also a movie production powerhouse.

If you want to get in your AtlantaFX fix on TV, here’s where to watch the show.

Atlanta has become a movie mecca in recent years and Georgia has been a favorite location for TV productions since the state instituted generous tax breaks for film companies that agree to shoot locally. Projects from CBS, NBC, HBO, BET and more are slated to shoot in the metro area in 2018-19 and the foreseeable future.
