Atlanta has been entertaining fans worldwide and is a project that co-creator Donald Glover is especially proud of, even comparing it to the likes of iconic series like The Sopranos. But will the story of Atlanta continue with a season 5? Here's what Donald Glover has said about the matter.

For those of you that need a little recap, Atlanta, delves into the life of Earn Marks, a struggling manager trying to elevate his cousin Alfred's rap career in the Atlanta music industry, while navigating personal and societal challenges.

Will Atlanta Return For Season 5?

With Atlanta coming to a close with season 4, it seems highly unlikely that we will get another season of the beloved character drama. Donald Glover, on the other hand, doesn't rule out the possibility of returning to Atlanta, explaining in an interview that he likes to keep his options open.

The problem is that the story was always supposed to end rather sooner than later.

I don’t feel any longevity. Because then things start to get weird. The story was always supposed to be what it was. And the story, it really was us.

Still, Glover isn't opposed to the idea of revisiting the franchise with a Christmas special or something like that, but it won't happen in the form of another season of Atlanta. Sorry, Atlanta fans.
