Hey, at least there’s a good reason for the Atlanta season 2 delay!

Donald Glover is developing a Deadpool animated series that will debut in 2018. The 10-episode run is part of his recently inked deal with FX Productions. He will write and executive produce the series with his brother Stephen, the mind (and voice!) behind ‘Paperboy’ by Atlanta’s Paper Boi (and much more of the show).

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel executives approached FX about doing a Deadpool series, based on their admiration of the network’s long-running animated series Archer.

Writing for the Deadpool series has already begun in London, where Glover is currently filming the new Han Solo movie which he stars in as a young Lando Calrissian. Another good reason for the Atlanta delay, tbh.
