Zazie Beetz has a promising update on when fans can expect the third season of her Emmy-winning comedy-drama Atlanta.

Donald Glover's exploration of the Atlanta music scene just wrapped up its second run on Thursday night (May 10), and there's been no official renewal for a third season yet from US network FX.

However, his co-star Beetz told Digital Spy in an interview for her new film Deadpool 2 that Glover has already started pitching her ideas for what could come next on Atlanta.

"There totally has been [talk]," she confirmed. "I don't think we've gotten greenlit for it yet, but we talk about it amongst ourselves a lot.

"I'm pretty sure they have some scripts written, and there are also some ideas in a certain direction they want to go. I know Donald has asked me what I think about this or that.

"I think they want to start shooting in January. But, as far as I know, we haven't been greenlit yet. So who knows?"

The cast of the FX series have become increasingly busy over the last year. Glover is currently doing promotion for Solo: A Star Wars Story and will also voice Simba in Disney's remake of The Lion King.

Meanwhile, Zazie Beetz joins the X-Men cinematic universe as Domino in Deadpool 2, and may reprise that role opposite Ryan Reynolds and Josh Brolin in an X-Force spin-off.

Deadpool 2 will be released on May 15 in the UK and May 18 in the US. Book tickets here.
