LOS ANGELES, March 7, 2018 - The premiere of Atlanta Robbin' Season, the latest chapter in the Emmy(R) Award-winning comedy series from Donald Glover, nabbed the best ratings of any recent basic cable comedy.

On a Live+3 basis, the premiere telecast of Atlanta Robbin' Season (March 1, 10:00pm-10:40pm) received 1.3 million Adults 18-49, the most of any basic cable primetime scripted comedy telecast since Week 3 of FXX's It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia's 12th season on January 18, 2017.

In Adults 18-49 Live+3, the Atlanta Robbin' Season premiere telecast was up +7% over the Season 1 premiere of Atlanta and +9% over the Season 1 average. In Total Viewers, the premiere was on par (1.8 million) with the Season 1 premiere and up +5% compared to the Season 1 average.
