Donald Glover's comedy to return

Donald Glover's comedy series Atlanta has been renewed for a fourth series.

The news comes 15 months after the second season ended and before the third has even been shot.

Now seasons three and four – each comprising eight episodes – will be shot back-to-back in the spring.

Eric Schrier, entertainment president of the FX network which airs the show in the US, said: 'This group of collaborators and cast have created one of the most original, innovative stories of this generation and we are proud to be their partners.’

The previous seasons of Atlanta have aired on the Fox channel in the UK.
