Donald Glover has struck up a deal with television network FX to develop a half-hour comedy titled Atlanta. The show will be semi-autobiographical with Glover essentially playing his hip hop persona, Childish Gambino. More details are soon to come.
Glover has been popping up here and there recently. He has been one of the stars of the NBC comedy Community since it began in 2010, although word broke out last month that he will only appear in 5 episodes next season. More recently Glover had roles in both The To-Do List and on HBO’s Girls.
This is a project that excites me for many reasons. For one Donald Glover is a very creative person, not to mention a very funny guy as well. He’s also quite talented when it comes to making music. A show centered on him being funny combined with his music sounds like a hit to me.
