While FX has done well with their dramas, the cable channel has had less ratings success with their comedies. How will their newest entry, Atlanta, fare? Will it be renewed for a second season or, will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned.
Atlanta follows two cousins who work through the Atlanta, Georgia music scene as they try to better their lives and the lives of their families. Earnest “Earn” Marks (Donald Glover) is a young manager who’s trying to get his cousin Alfred’s career off the ground. Alfred Marks (Brian Tyree Henry) is a new hot rapper trying to understand the line between real life and street life. Lakeith Lee Stanfield and Zazie Beetz also star.
In the changing world of television, TV execs look at many factors when deciding to renew or cancel a show. However, the ratings are still very important. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Love it!!!!! Smart comedy. Reminds me of larry david minus the laugh track
I LOVE ATLANTA. Funniest, realist show yet! …. I WANT MORE!
Great show. I loved it, some of it was real life, some of it was suspenseful, the acting was so good. Bring it back.
Great show!!! Great cast!!! Great writing!!! My husband and I are fans. It is different from anything I have seen. The storyline is real and unique. We can not stop laughing each night. Keep up the good work.
I’m enjoying it!! I don’t think the ratings are high enough to last, though…
Was introduced to this series by my 23 yr old son while he was home visiting. His gf has Hulu, so we watched 1st 3 eps. I am 53, and I liked the show although it seems to target a younger audience. I believe this series has great potential and with excellent writing, a believable cast as well as a smart story you will have a winner.
