Is that Chloe Bailey? Yea... amma be looking forward to this one.

Okay didn’t know this was happening! Very excited

That’s hype

A sister series to Atlanta? I’m sold

Really like the actress in the thumbnail, she steals every scene she is in.

Mad men? What. Confused

She's so good in The Deuce, was sad when I found out >!she only had a brief scene in the third season!<.

Headline makes no sense, especially when the piece itself drops two much more interesting comparison points:

Piano Teacher and King of Comedy

Glover & Nabers teaming up to basically channel the way, way, way ahead of its time satire of King of Comedy, but aimed directly at TikTok/Insta/"Stan" culture?

FUCK YES

Guessing Vanity Fair editors put that headline together because referencing "Mad Men" in any way likely perks their eyes up (and their imagined readership's eyes) more than citing the actual influences behind the show.

Don’t hurt yourself

I will watch anything with his name on it. I know that this description gets thrown around a lot, but Atlanta really did feel like nothing else on Television right now. Such a unique tone and atmosphere. Great writing, acting, direction, character development and cinematography.

Is it based in Houston? As a Houstonian I’d love a show featured here

i was glad that the show >!didn't give her a sad ending tho!<

Atlanta + The King Of Comedy sounds like a recipie for tv greatness

Try Mo.

I’ve seen it, I like it but wouldn’t mind more obviously

A show about a stan of a Beyonce-esque singer set in Houston sounds like a great idea to me. Dominique Fishback was great in The Deuce, so I should enjoy her in this.

> “We just thought it’d be fun to make a post-truth Piano Teacher mixed with The King of Comedy”

What a fucking quote. I am in.

Didn’t Ingrid Goes West already do the “King of Comedy but with influencers” premise? I’m more intrigued, but also skeptical, by the comparisons to Haneke’s The Piano Teacher. I just don’t see a studio willing to give money to any project that is truly Haneke-esque, and much as I like Glover, his work has never had that cold, serrated bite Haneke’s does.

Lol I'll try. I love mad men tho

How did I not know this was happening? I was patiently awaiting the Mr and Mrs Smith Amazon reboot with him and Phoebie Waller-Bridge.

So the show will be about an antihero who is messy but compelling (like Don Draper and Tony Soprano) but creating a new version of that archetype, “through the lens of a Black, modern-day woman. I’m sold.
