Atlanta is one of seven winners in this year’s Entertainment category, winning alongside VEEP, “Lemonade,” and others. The Peabody jurors praised Atlanta for blending “vibrant character study and rich socio-political commentary in delivering a detailed and textured exploration of a Southern city.”
The Peabody Awards are based at the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia. Atlanta-filmed Stranger Things was also nominated for the Entertainment category.
