At long last, after a four year wait, Donald Glover's comedy-drama Atlanta has returned. And as anyone who's started watching it will know, the third season has a fairly intense opening episode that (*mild spoilers ahead*) barely even features Glover's character Earn until the very end.
Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, Glover explained that he wanted to make the show's comeback episode something "harrowing and cinematic", and managed to brush off any mild concerns from the show's network FX.
"They definitely were like, 'You sure you don't want to put Darius in there?'", says Glover in the clip above. "Because it is kind of dangerous to do it, but we thought like...I always wanted it to be like a movie. I always want everything I do to be an event. So I was like, if people are going to be waiting a long time for this to come back, it should be an event."
Well, it certainly is that.
