Stephen Glover, Donald's brother and frequent collaborator, is also attached to the project as writer and executive producer.

Glover has won numerous awards over the years for writing, acting, and music (under his stage name Childish Gambino), to the point that "list of awards and nominations received by Donald Glover" has its own remarkably lengthy Wikipedia page [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Donald_Glover]. Highlights include two Primetime Emmy awards, two Golden Globes, five Grammy Awards, two Peabody Awards, and five Writers Guild of America Awards.
