The cast ofAtlantais returning in a whimsical way for its fourth and final season.
In a new trailer released Friday, Earn (Donald Glover) and Van (Zazie Beetz) are seen walking through a fanciful convenience store. After exiting the store into the parking lot, things continue to appear out of sorts as piano drops from the sky.
After a crocodile is shown climbing up the side of the store, Darius (LaKeith Stanfield) comes onto the scene driving an invisible vehicle.
The screen then reveals the fourth and final season will premiere in September on FX.
In a press release from FX, the network notes that Earn, Darius, Van and Alfred have all returned to their hometown for the final season but poses the question, “has Atlanta changed or have they?”

At the March premiere of season 3, Glover reminisced about filming the show’s final scene.
“It was really fun, everybody clapped, it was nice. But it was sad, because we all really grew up together, and none of us really knew what this was going to be,“he told PEOPLE. “And everybody’s grown up and has families [now]. It just feels very special. It was kind of sad just because endings are sad, but they also mean that you had something special.”
