Donald Glover and his brother Stephen Glover explained recently why they titled the second season of “Atlanta,” “Robbin Season.”
According to The Wrap, the title is a nickname of the holiday season in Atlanta, when an increase n crime occurs.
They also explained the second season of the hit show takes place during this time in Atlanta and will be a major theme for the season.
“Robbin’ Season, for most of you that I guess don’t know, is a time in Atlanta right before Christmastime and New Year’s,” the executive producer and writer explained at a Television Critics Association panel. “Basically, a bunch of crime happens in the city right during that time.”
“Because everybody has their Christmas gifts,” series creator/star — and Stephen’s big brother — Donald Glover interjected.
“Yeah, people have to give Christmas gifts and [other] people have that stuff,” Stephen continued in the street history lesson. “People just have more stuff, money. And people need money. It’s just a time that robberies go up — all kinds. You might get your package stolen off your front porch. When we were there shooting, my neighbor got her car stolen out her driveway.”
“It’s just like a very kind of tense and desperate time,” he went on. “So we wanted that to be the backdrop to this season. Our characters are going through [a] transition from their whole lives to where they’re heading now. Yeah, ‘Robbin Season’ is kind of a metaphor for all of that.”
I’m so ready.

I’m ready for this, Power, Game of Thrones and Insecure.
