Donald Glover’s “Atlanta” Is Finally Coming To Australia

SBS Australia made a bloody exciting announcement last night.

ICYMI, Donald Glover won a Golden Globe yesterday. So did his television series, Atlanta.

He won the shiny award for Best Actor in a TV Comedy or Musical and Atlanta won Best TV Musical or Comedy. Woo!

Obviously, while this was super exciting for him and everyone involved in the show, it was also a sucky reminder that Australians can't ~legally~ watch Atlanta anywhere.

It just sucks, you know?

But then, much to everyone's delight, SBS Australia tweeted that Atlanta will be coming SOON.

If SBS can give me Atlanta then that just confirms that they're the best channel in Australia https://t.co/b7hxkDJC8v
