FX announced today that Atlanta has been renewed for a second season. The freshman comedy, which premiered earlier this month, has been well-received by both audiences and critics through its first three episodes.

Created by comedian and musician Donald Glover, who also stars in the series, Atlanta follows two cash-strapped cousins trying to better their lives by making a living in the city's hip hop scene. The show's September 6th debut drew basic cable's best ratings among adults 18-49 for a scripted comedy premiere in three years.

FX has ordered 10 new episodes for Season 2 of Atlanta, which matches its first-season count. Look for the new season in 2018.
