Glover said that if Atlanta‘s Season 4 was like Season 3, it would have been letting the fans down.
“As a product maker, as an entertainer, as an artist, as somebody who loves to make things for people…I’ve studied it enough to understand that things feel good because of what comes before and after them,” he said. “We deserve quality. We deserve something that isn’t easy for everyone to digest all the time. I knew Season 3 wasn’t easy. We all knew it wasn’t easy. We knew opening the season without [any of the cast] was going to make people f—ing mad and be like, ‘What the f–?’ It felt like…you’re climbing and you’re climbing to get up to the top where the light is. And when you get there, you can do whatever dance you want. And that’s what everybody’s fighting for.”
