In this video from IGN, the writers and producers from Atlanta; Jamal Olori and Taofik Kolade breakdown and give some insight into the creative process behind some of the series' best moment's. They touch upon how the show bends genres between comedy, drama, surrealism and horror. Provide a perspective on how the show isn't a PSA but how it still comments on issues that effect various global communities. The process of building a world that is realistic but still surreal enough to include an invisible car. How content on social media is shared between them personally and then sometimes twisted, sampled and remixed to be then incorporated into the show. Similarly how that process also works with celebrity parodies and satires like Mr Chocolate and Teddy Perkins that are part of the show. How the identities of the four main characters have been built and evolved over the course of the series. The guest appearances from Migos, Brian McKnight, Sinbad, Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgard, Katt Williams, Kevin Samuels, Chet Hanks, Michael Vick and Gunna are mentioned, and how Alexander's role was initially supposed to be Ryan Gosling but due to scheduling conflicts Ryan was busy and they found out that Alexander is a massive fan of the show. Jamal and Taofik conclude that they are more than happy with how the series ended, and there will be projects in the future that they will be working on.
