Update: Atlanta season 4 trailer teases the finale this series needs.

It's finally time to watch Atlanta season 3 online. Yes, one of the best shows on TV is back on FX, and in even better news, the series will be streaming on Hulu throughout the season as well, with episodes arriving the next day.

It's been nearly 4 years since Atlanta signed off (season 2 ended on May 10, 2018), and in that time, someone at Hulu realized it would be a good idea to get episodes up the day after they air on FX.

Atlanta season 3 start time, channel

• Date — Atlanta season 3 episode 1 and 2 debut today (March 24) on FX and Friday (March 25) on Hulu
• Time — 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. ET
• U.S. — Watch on FX via Sling or Fubo.TV
• Watch anywhere — try ExpressVPN 100% risk free

Atlanta season 3 finds Earn (Donald Glover), Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry) and Darius (LaKeith Stanfield) on the European road trip of a lifetime — right where we last left them. The trio is on the Clark County European tour and while we're not sure how or why Van (Zazie Beetz) has joined them on this tour, we're not complaining. We'll save that for Earn, if their ever-rocky relationship goes south again.

What we do know, from all the secret teasers, is that this season looks to keep things surreal. Darius is riding a wave of bohemian poetry. Paper Boi is still attracting more attention than he wants. And Earn? He doesn't seem to be happy at all. 

Van sure looks like she knows how to enjoy the moment, as she's pushing people into an indoors pool in the below trailer. We're more than curious about who is looking after Lottie.
