FX's 'Atlanta' Pilot: Donald Glover, Grammy Nominee Childish Gambino's New Comedy Series! [WATCH]

FX is moving forward and ordered a pilot for their upcoming comedy, starring stand-up comic/rapper, Donald Glover. Since 2013, the first-time Grammy nominee and former Community star has been developing and planning his new series, Atlanta.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Atlanta follows the former 30 Rock writer as he learns what it takes to make it big in the music industry. In the narrative, two cousins, with wildly different takes on life, try to navigate through the Atlanta rap scene. The Muppets actor plays college drop-out Earnest "Earn" Marks, who taps into his own musical aspirations when his estranged family member suddenly finds fame and fortune.

Making the announcement together, FX Networks and FX Productions president of original programming Nick Grad joins counterpart Eric Schrier as they state, "Donald Glover is a uniquely talented actor and performer who brings real-life experience to this subject matter. Not only is Donald a very gifted actor, he has achieved tremendous success and acclaim as the musical artist Childish Gambino. He, along with Paul Simms, has a very honest, sometimes serious, and funny perspective on life, the world of rap music and the city of Atlanta."

The half-hour comedy puts together Glover, Paul Simms and Dianne McGunigle of Schiff Company, as executive producers. In recent music news, the Heartbeat rapper just received his first Grammy nomination last week for best rap album and best rap performance for Because the Internet.

We were very excited to hear about the Robot Chicken voice actor being cast as Miles Morales in Ultimate Spider-Man. We have 5 really good reasons why this was perfect casting in the Disney XD animated series. The announcement for the pilot order comes days after the highly anticipated series finale of Sons of Anarchy on FX.
