-The show has added Brian Tyree Henry, Lakeith Lee Stanfield and Zazie Beetz to the cast for the pilot.
-“Atlanta” tells the tale of cousins Earnest “Earn” Marks (Glover) and Alfred Miles (Henry), who are attempting to break through the city’s rap scene — if their opposing views on art versus commerce, success, and race don’t get in the way. Darius, Alfred’s oddly talented right-hand man and musical collaborator, will be played by Lakeith Lee Stanfield. Van, a pragmatist caught in a complicated relationship with Earn on account of their daughter, will be played by Zazie Beetz.
-Donald created the show and wrote the pilot, he will also serve as executive producer.
-The show shoots in Atlanta (where else would it shoot) at the end of the month.
