About FX’s Atlanta:
Atlanta is one of the best cities for burgeoning rappers looking to make a name for themselves in the industry. Among those up-and-comers is Alfred Miles, a hot new rapper trying to learn the line between real life and street life. Alfred is managed by his cousin Earn. Earn gets caught up in the local rap scene and his cousin’s career after returning to Atlanta. Earn does whatever he can to try to get Alfred’s career to the next level. Darius, the rapper’s right-hand man and visionary, is also in Alfred’s entourage. When Earn isn’t busy managing his cousin’s career, he spends much of his time with his most loyal friend Vanessa, the mother of his daughter. The Writers Guild Foundation stated the season 1 episode “Streets on Lock” as having one of the best scripts of 2010s film and television, writing, “The story features fully realized supporting players and miscreants, but right when we start laughing, everything takes a sour turn, causing us to reflect on what we’re really laughing at”.
FX Atlanta Cast:
Donald Glover as Earnest “Earn” Marks, an early-30 something Princeton University dropout who becomes a manager attempting to get his cousin Paper Boi’s rap career started. Brian Tyree Henry as Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles, Earn’s cousin, an aspiring rapper from the hood, who shows signs of depression and moral anguish while navigating his newfound fame as “Paper Boi.” Lakeith Stanfield as Darius Epps, Alfred’s eccentric right-hand man and visionary. Zazie Beetz as Vanessa Keefer, Earn’s on-again-off-again girlfriend and the mother of their daughter Lottie.
