One of the TV shows we're most excited about this year is FX's Atlanta, the brainchild of actor, comedian, musician, and polymath Donald Glover. There are dozens of reasons to be excited about this: Glover's excellent standup comedy, his tenure as a writer and actor on shows like 30 Rock and Community, or his music career as Childish Gambino. Donald Glover has buckets of talent, and Atlanta appears to be the weird canvas he's going to splash it over.

Just look at the hazy, dreamlike first trailer, a montage of Donald Glover waking up in a whole mess of unusual circumstances.

There hasn't been a whole lot of information divulged about Atlanta—Glover's only spoken about the ten-episode comedy briefly, saying very Donald Glover-esque things like it's "about life" and "Twin Peaks with rappers." A synopsis on Deadline is a bit more thorough:

Atlanta is the story of two cousins working through the Southern capital’s music scene in order to better their lives and the lives of their families. Earn Marks (Donald Glover) is a young manager trying to get his cousin’s career off the ground. Alfred Marks (Brian Tyree Henry) is a new hot rapper trying to understand the line between real life and street life.

We've seen an early version of the pilot, and it's great—it's a next step in the evolution of idiosyncratic, comedian-driven shows like Louie, Master of None, or the forthcoming (and equally exciting) Issa Rae HBO series Insecure. Atlanta looks well on its way to being a show that's unlike anything else on TV with a rap-fueled plot that's gripping, smart, hilarious, and weird. The rap scene is almost completely unexplored territory in scripted television, much less a rap scene as distinct as Glover's native Atlanta.

It also, finally, has a premiere date: Tuesday, September 6, at 10 p.m. Keep an eye out for it—we think it'll be worth the DVR space.
