“Brothers in Atlanta,” which counts “Saturday Night Live” honcho Lorne Michaels as an executive producer, has received a series order from HBO.
The number of episodes that the order entails has not yet been determined.
The comedy stars and is written by “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” veterans Diallo Riddle and Bashir Salahuddin (pictured above), who play Langston and Moose, respectively, best friends who are trying to navigate relationships and life in the black Mecca of Atlanta. Langston, an Atlanta native, is an aspiring DJ whose career has stalled due to his lack of focus and his get-rich schemes.
