GRAMMY nominee and current Album Of The Year contender Donald Glover's comedy-drama television brainchild "Atlanta" is back for its second season, and today the FX network officially unveiled the show's first new trailer.

According to Spin, Glover — who made history last year when the first season of "Atlanta" helped him become the first black director to win the Emmy for Outstanding Directing in the award show's 69-year run — recently revealed that season two of "Atlanta," titled "Robbin' Season," was structurally inspired by the 1992 children's cartoon direct-to-video movie Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Summer Vacation. This marks a departure of sorts from the episodic structure of the first season, which included several one-off non sequitur episodes, and intentionally eschewed an obvious over-arching narrative.
"Tiny Toons Summer Vacation was broken up into a bunch of episodes, but if you watched them all together they were a movie," Glover's brother and "Atlanta" co-writer Stephen Glover explained. "It's a whole story, but told in a bunch of little parts."
"Atlanta: Robbin' Season" will premiere on FX on March 1.
