The move is certainly a smart one by FX, as Glover’s star has risen considerably this past year and will likely reach stratospheric heights once the as-yet-untitled Han Solo film hits theaters.
Atlanta season 2 will now premiere in 2018 on FX.
Obviously, this is related to Glover’s commitments to the Star Wars franchise and its burgeoning series of standalone anthology movies.
It’s a huge win-win-win, as Glover, FX, and audiences all make out like bandits in the new deal.
