There’s no place like Magic City–one of Atlanta’s most storied gems known for its delicious lemon pepper wings and top-tier twerkettes who take center stage in Magic City: An American Fantasy premiering this Friday, Aug. 15, on Starz.

The 5-part docuseries explores the rise (and reign) of the iconic club and its massive influence through a nostalgic lens with commentary from trendsetters, culture curators, and history-makers, including T.I., Drake, Quavo, 2 Chainz, Big Boi, Killer Mike, Jermaine Dupri, Shaquille O’Neal, Dominique Wilkins, and more.

Check out the trailer below:

Created and executive-produced by Cole Brown, Magic City: An American Fantasy takes viewers on a jiggly journey through the club’s rich history as a pop culture obsession where many of your favorite club anthems made their debut.

“The reason I feel like it was important right now is, for one, people were listening to me because I did the Freaknik documentary first,” said Dupri in an interview with Okayplayer.

“You have people’s eyeballs at a certain time… and then I just feel like it was the universe speaking because me and Cole, and my father [former record executive Michael Mauldin] had a conversation about something else that led into this. Initially, it wasn’t even about Magic City. I feel like the wind made us make this. The wind just blew us in that direction.”

As expected, Atlanta showed up and showed out at the star-studded screening soirée with appearances by 2 Chainz, Killer Mike, Jermaine Dupri, Young Dro, and more.
