Donald Glover’s FX Networks comedy pilot, "Atlanta," is now officially an FX comedy series, as the network has announced today that it has ordered 10 episodes of what will be a half-hour dramedy, with a premiere set for sometime in 2016.

Brian Tyree Henry, Lakeith Lee Stanfield and Zazie Beetz all join Glover star in the series, who created the project.

Here’s a breakdown of each character the above actors will play:

Donald Glover will play Earnest "Earn" Marks, a loner who left Atlanta only to return; now working an unglamorous job and barely getting by. When his cousin Alfred becomes Atlanta’s hot rapper, Earn sees an opportunity to manage Alfred’s career.
