The upcoming run of FX’s hit sitcom “Atlanta” isn’t called “Season 2” — it’s titled “Robbin’ Season.” Uh, what’s that now? Stephen Glover graciously offered up a very thorough explanation.

“Robbin’ Season, for most of you that I guess don’t know, is a time in Atlanta right before Christmastime and New Year’s,” the executive producer and writer explained at a Television Critics Association panel. “Basically, a bunch of crime happens in the city right during that time.”

“Because everybody has their Christmas gifts,” series creator/star — and Stephen’s big brother — Donald Glover interjected.

“Yeah, people have to give Christmas gifts and [other] people have that stuff,” Stephen continued in the street history lesson.
