SPOILER ALERT: This article contains details of tonight’s Season 3 finale of FX’s Atlanta
“We wanted to end this season or end that episode with the feeling of some things have been addressed, but not necessarily solved,” says Zazie Beetz of tonight’s very Parisian finale of Atlanta’s penultimate season. “I think in Season 4, there’s a continuation of identity searching,” says the actress who plays Van of the Donald Glover, Brian Tyree Henry and LaKeith Stansfield co-starring FX series.
“That is a lifelong journey I think, and it takes on a bit of another context.”
A delicate weave of whispers of 1960’s Breathless, 1993’s Killing Zoe, 2016’s Raw and more than a dollop or two of 2001’s Amélie, literally and figuratively, the Glover helmed and Stefani Robinson penned “Tarrare” was a feast of a finale for the March 24 premiering third season. With a paid “piss kink,” cooked human hands, a “local” POV of Paris, a debauched Alexander Skarsgård as Alexander Skarsgård and a battering baguette, the visceral and agonizing exercise in cloaked identities and vulnerability will certainly loom over Atlanta fans for a while, especially leading into the acclaimed series’ fourth and final season coming this fall.
Though some might get stuck on the ghostly post credits scene with Glover’s Earn, a returned bag, a Deftones t-shirt and a chilling photo, at the center of all of it is Beetz’s splintered Van on her own Grand Tour, internally and culturally. The Emmy nominated Joker and The Harder They Fall alum spoke with me about the enigmatic Season 3 ender and taking Van into a reality of her creation. Beetz also talked about what to expect for Season 4 and what it was like to say goodbye.

It wouldn’t be unfair to call rodneyy’s #OGTG a bit of a data dump. A few of the project's 24 tracks feel undercooked, but that’s what makes listening to the teenaged Atlanta rapper and producer so exciting — every song he makes, whether a loosie, mixtape cut, or producer credit is its own experiment that he’ll come back to and tinker with on a new track somewhere down the line.

Selome Hailu SPOILER ALERT: Do not read unless you have watched “Tarrare,” the Season 3 finale of “Atlanta.” The Season 3 finale of “Atlanta” is styled after the quirky and comforting French rom-com “Amélie,” though this version is weirder and grosser.The episode is titled “Tarrare” after the 1700s French solider who was famous for a medical condition that made him constantly hungry — he was able to eat his own body weight in meat, and was also rumored to engage in cannibalism. In “Atlanta,” that hunger belongs to Van (Zazie Beetz), who becomes so unsure of who she is that she has a nervous breakdown, engulfing herself in a French alter ego complete with an accent, a boyfriend, an apartment and a job in a butcher shop that serves human hands.
So, Van is obviously going through a lot this season. What did you feel was important to convey about her character through this episode?The approach was, obviously, trying to give her a grounded reason as to why she was actually in Europe, and that was the impetus for it all. So, we sort of approach the story from that angle.
season 3 closes out with a bang as it follows Van (Zazie Beetz) on a very unexpected, emotional journey through Paris, which includes a wild interaction with a surprise cameo by Alexander Skarsgård. And executive producer Stefani Robinson breaks down what is easily one of the FX series’ best episodes yet. [: Spoilers for the season 3 finale, “Tarrare,” written by Stefani Robinson and directed by Donald Glover.]While the season was split between stories about the curse of whiteness and following the gang — Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry), Darius (LaKeith Stanfield), Earn and Van -- as they travel through parts of Europe, the finale focuses squarely on Van, whose story has largely played out in the background of previous episodes. “We really wanted to do a Van solo episode,” Robinson tells ET, using it to address why she showed up in Europe in the first place.
swore that the writers simply predicted the future. Robinson doesn’t know if they predicted the future, per se, but she does think that the room Glover curates allows the writers to think beyond the present moment and build stories that may or may not ever become reality. “It’s kind of spooky. Like, I don’t know what it is about,” Robinson said.
