FX has renewed Atlanta for a 10-episode second season, Deadline reports. The show, created by and starring Donald Glover, is still just two episodes into its first season (the third premieres tonight). Although it’s early, Atlanta has been received favorably by critics and viewers. Its debut episode was the most-watched premiere of any basic cable comedy show since 2013.
