Crime dramas might be the most popular genre in all of entertainment right now, especially if you include "true crime" in that distinction, and Americans really love their stories about bad guys almost getting away with it. All of the most popular streamers have sunk unbelievable money into these projects, either by adapting true stories or hiring talented screenwriters to weave tales of harrowing complexity and tabloid scandal alike. While people have been getting their thrills seeing Damson Idris in "F1" lately, his biggest star-making turn so far has been on a critically acclaimed TV crime drama with "Snowfall." Although this show has concluded, fans who missed out the first time might want to uncover what was going on with the Hulu favorite if they're looking for a new crime obsession.

"Snowfall" tells the story of the crack epidemic's rise in Los Angeles, California, through the eyes of Franklin Saint,...

Alison Brie is set for the lead role in an FX drama pilot that hails from Hannah Fidell and Gina Welch.

The official logline states, “A violent confrontation drives a high-end DC madame (Brie) to turn on her partner and enter witness protection in seaside Maine with her adolescent daughter.”

The project was first announced in March 2023 with a pilot commitment. At the time, David Chase was attached as co-creator and executive producer, as the show was based on one of Chase’s previously unproduced scripts of which Fidell had written a contemporary take. According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Chase exited the project due to scheduling conflicts with a film he is prepping.

Fidell and Welch serve as writers, executive producers, and co-showrunners. Fidell will also direct. Nicole Lambert of Riverain Pictures remains onboard as an executive producer. FX Productions is the studio.

FX has ordered a drama pilot from Peter Gould with Victoria Pedretti and Kiera Allen set for the lead roles.

Titled “Disinherited,” the official logline states, “An unexpected inheritance thrusts a pair of scrappy sisters into a world of generational wealth and long-buried crimes.”

Gould will also direct and executive produce the pilot in addition to writing. Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman, and Nena Rodrigue of T-Street also executive produce. FX Productions is the studio.

FX’s other recent pilot orders include the “Snowfall” spinoff starring Gail Bean and Isaiah John, as well as the drama “Seven Sisters” starring Elizabeth Olsen and Cristin Milioti.

The “Snowfall” spinoff pilot at FX has added three series regulars, Variety has learned exclusively.

Asante Blackk, Peyton Alex Smith, and Simmie Sims III have all joined the pilot alongside previously announced leads and original series alums Gail Bean and Isaiah John. Variety exclusively reported on the pilot order in March. While Bean and John will be reprising their roles from “Snowfall,” exact character details for the other three are being kept under wraps.

The official logline for the pilot states, “Set in 90s Los Angeles soon after the end of the original series, a recovering addict (Bean) strives to take West Coast rap mainstream despite potential infighting from a harrowing gang war.”

Blackk is best known for his role in the critically-acclaimed Ava DuVernay limited series “When They See Us” at Netflix, for which he earned an Emmy nomination for best supporting actor in a limited series or movie.

Exclusive: Dave Andron, writer and executive producer on hit FX series including Justified and Snowfall, has signed an overall deal with FX Productions.

Under the agreement, Andron will write, executive produce and supervise new projects for FX. He is currently part of the creative team behind the Snowfall spinoff series, starring Gail Bean and Isaiah John who are reprising their roles from the mothership series. The project received a pilot order from FX earlier this week with casting due to begin shortly and production estimated to kick off this summer.

“As we witnessed with Justified and Snowfall, Dave is a gifted, compelling storyteller,” said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment. “We’re already hard at work on a Snowfall spinoff, along with other exciting projects under his new overall deal with FX.”

Andron served as an executive producer on FX’s Justified, the AFI and Peabody-winning series led by Timothy Olyphant...

It is time for a transition. From the business model of crack to that of gangster rap. Following on from the conclusion of FX's Snowfall, after six seasons in 2023, a new spin-off of the show has been greenlit for development by the network. The show's spin-off series, which began early development in the same year as the original's final episode, has received a pilot order by FX, per a report from Variety. As reported back in 2023, the untitled Snowfall spin-off will see the return of original cast member, Gail Bean as Wanda Bell-Simmons. The actress will be joined by fellow original cast member Isaiah John, who played Leon Simmons.

FX's Snowfall spinoff is officially moving forward. The original Snowfall series, which ran from 2017 to 2023, explored the rise of the crack cocaine epidemic in 1980s Los Angeles. Created by the late John Singleton, Eric Amadio, and Dave Andron, Snowfall followed Franklin Saint’s (Damson Idris) journey into a burgeoning drug kingpin as he partners with Teddy (Carter Hudson), a CIA operative. The upcoming spinoff will pick up soon after the end of the original series as recovering addict Wanda Bell-Simmons begins her career in West Coast rap in the 1990s while a violent gang war rages on.

Variety has now reported that the Snowfall spinoff has secured a pilot order from FX, marking a significant milestone in its development since it was first announced in 2023. The new series will see Snowfall star Gail Bean reprise her role as Wanda, alongside Isaiah John, who returns as her husband Leon Simmons.

Coming up on two years since the period crime drama Snowfall wrapped its six-season run, FX has ordered a pilot for a spinoff that’s been in development since March 2023.

Snowfall, which debuted in July 2017 and starred Damson Idris, was touted as the story of “how crack began.” Over the course of six seasons, the series chronicled how an off-the-books CIA operation contributed to the destruction that rock cocaine leveled upon the vibrant community of 1990s South Central L.A.

There's an exciting update for fans of FX's crime drama series, Snowfall. A planned spinoff series has landed a pilot order after being in development for the last few years.

Variety reports that the currently untitled Snowfall spinoff will see Gail Bean return in the role of Wanda Bell-Simmons, with Isaiah John also reprising his role as Leon Simmons from the original Snowfall show. The pilot's official logline reads: "Set in 90s Los Angeles soon after the end of the original series, a recovering addict (Bean) strives to take West Coast rap mainstream despite potential infighting from a harrowing gang war."

Malcolm Spellman is set to write and executive produce the pilot episode. Snowfall alums Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Julie DeJoie, Michael London and Trevor Engelson will executive produce. The pilot will remain with FX Productions. The original Snowfall series aired from 2017 to 2023 on FX and starred an ensemble cast including Damson Idris,...

The Snowfall spinoff series we exclusively revealed to be in early development in 2023, has officially received a pilot order by FX, Deadline has confirmed. Gail Bean and Isaiah John are set to reprise the roles of Wanda and Leon Simmons, respectively.

As previously revealed, the spinoff is a continuation of the original story set in 1990s Los Angeles as South Central transitions out of the crack era into the gangster rap business, with areas heavily infested by gangs led by the Bloods and Crips. Wanda would serve as the connective tissue between the original show and the offshoot, which is expected to introduce other main characters.

Besides Wanda and Leon from the original series, it is unknown if any other surviving character could appear in the new project. Casting is due to begin shortly with the pilot going into production this summer.

The project hails from Snowfall’s Dave Andron,...

Exclusive: Beverly Hills-based management and production company, Underground, has bolstered its team with the addition of Aaron Folbe as Manager, Deadline has learned.

Folbe joins after a little over two years at Industry Entertainment, where he served as Lit Coordinator. In his new role, he will continue to focus on supporting and developing the careers of writers, directors, and performers.

Folbe’s new role comes shortly following a major win for his clients Adam and Daniel Cooper, who in June sold their short story “I Used To Eat Brains, Now I Eat Kale” to Amazon MGM Studios for feature development, with Ryan Gosling and his production company General Admission attached to produce. Folbe took on the Cooper twins as clients before his time at Industry Entertainment — while serving as an assistant at Artists First — and closed the deal in between his exit from that company and his Underground hire.

Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for the series finale of “Snowfall.”

When John Singleton set out to tell the story about the effects of the ’80s cocaine business on Los Angeles, he had a clear vision in mind. He wanted something that came full circle and ultimately led into his directorial debut “Boyz ‘N the Hood,” a film that was set in the ’90s and explored the harsh realities of Black families living in South Central L.A. The movie earned the then 24-year-old his first Oscar nomination, making him the youngest and first Black filmmaker to be nominated for best director.

Damson Idris was a major part of the story of “Snowfall.” Starring as Franklin Saint, Idris carried out Singleton’s tale and vision down to the show’s final scenes. As Franklin’s story came to an end on Wednesday night, fans finally said goodbye to what...

The University of Southern California’s (USC) School of Cinematic Arts (Sca) announced the creation of the John Singleton Lounge during a special screening of the series finale of FX’s Snowfall — Singleton’s final work — on the campus Thursday night. Set for location outside of the dean’s office suites, the seating area will be decorated with posters showcasing the work of the late filmmaker and USC alum who also co-founded the school’s African American Cinema Society while he was a student there.

“I want to thank John for being my son, and I want to thank John for listening to me and allowing me to guide his life,” said Singleton’s mother, Sheila Ward-Johnson, in opening remarks during the event, which was one of a series of screenings Sca has held throughout the 2022-2023 academic year as part of a yearlong celebration honoring the Academy Award-nominated director.

Spoiler Alert: The following story reveals major plot points from tonight’s series finale of FX’s Snowfall.

After 6 seasons, FX’s hit drama series Snowfall said its final goodbye tonight, and while most of what transpired was somewhat expected, seeing a promising life end in poverty and despair is absolutely heartbreaking.

Viewers have been on a journey with Franklin Saint (Damson Idris), seeing his highs and lows and cheering him on no matter what he’s gotten himself into. But money and power tend to change people, especially when said fortune comes from criminal activities. In the end, Franklin is left with no family and friends to speak of—except his day one Leon Simmons (Isaiah John)—a shadow of himself resembling his father Alton Williams (Kevin Carroll) at his lowest in Season 1, drunk and destitute.

“His final moments were incredibly challenging. There was a fatherhood connection there, which...

[The following story contains spoilers from the Snowfall series finale “The Struggle.”]

For six seasons, FX’s Snowfall explored how the crack cocaine epidemic contributed to the destruction of a community in South Central Los Angeles. The 1980s-set drama also touched on the intersections between the unfolding drug crisis and larger societal and geopolitical issues like the Iran-Contra affair and Cold War tensions between the CIA and Kgb.

But for its final episode, which aired Wednesday night, the series, co-created by the late John Singleton, ended in some ways as it began, with Damson Idris‘ Franklin Saint walking along a palm tree-lined street.

“For all of the show’s aspirations and its geopolitical reach, it started on the street with a kid who was full of potential in a neighborhood that was just a working-class neighborhood on a summer day,” showrunner Dave Andron tells The Hollywood Reporter of ending the series on Franklin. “And we always knew that the story,...

Everyone involved with Snowfall told us that the series wouldn’t end well. No one consumed by the show’s crescendoing tension could expect anything but tragedy.

Few, if any, outlaws ever got away scot-free. And, even with the boundless capabilities of historical fiction, neither could Damson Idris’s Franklin Saint. Many Snowfall fans anticipated the series concluding with him being whisked away by the CIA, or killed at the hands of his Aunt Louie (Angela Lewis) — if not one of the many people whose lives he’d ruined en...

"Snowfall"'s reign has come to an end, but the cast and crew are pleased with their series's epic six-season run. "Looking at the totality of it, I'm just so proud that it went the distance," cocreator Dave Andron tells Popsugar while reflecting on the FX show's legacy. "We managed to make something that meant a lot to a lot of people. We got to end the story, with the blessing of FX, the way we wanted to and on our terms. And that's an incredibly special and gratifying thing."

"We got to tell our story from beginning, middle, to end. That makes me extremely proud, grateful, and very excited."

For the past six seasons, "Snowfall" has built the world of the critically acclaimed crime drama, as Damson Idris's Franklin Saint would say, "brick by brick." Set against the backdrop of an '80s South Central LA,...

This article contains spoilers for “Snowfall” Season 6.

Despite the death of his character in this season of “Snowfall,” Amin Joseph’s job on the series wasn’t quite finished with that. The actor, who starred as uncle Jerome Saint, returned to the FX series to direct this week’s episode, “Ballad of the Bear.”

As “Snowfall” inches closer to the series finale, Gustavo ‘El Oso’ Zapata’s (Sergio Peris-Mencheta) important decision to choose a side takes center stage in this week’s episode. After being approached by the CIA, the DEA and the Kgb to turn on his associates, Oso must figure out whose side he’ll stand on — will he continue to stay loyal to Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) or former agent Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson)? Or will he choose to put his faith behind a third party player, Ruben, the former Cuban national with Russian heritage, working for...

It's the end of an era for "Snowfall" fans and, unfortunately, of the overall journeys of some of the series's pivotal characters.

For the past six seasons, the 1980s-set crime drama has followed the dramatic tale of ambitious drug dealer Franklin (Damson Idris) and the epic rise and fall of his drug organization during the crack epidemic in South Central Los Angeles. While we've witnessed Franklin's transformation from college-bound teenager to a ruthless kingpin, one of the biggest shocks in the gritty FX series thus far has been watching his family slowly fall apart - which, in part, has led to another heartbreaking death.

The latest major "Snowfall" character to die - following major losses like Franklin's father Alton and, most recently, his crew member Black Diamond - in the show's sixth and final season is none other than Amin Joseph's beloved Jammin' Jerome Saint, aka Uncle Jerome. In "Snowfall"'s sixth episode,...

Exclusive: A spinoff of the hit drama series Snowfall is in early stages of development at FX, sources tell Deadline. No one would comment but we hear that, if it comes to fruition, the offshoot would potentially star Gail Bean reprising her fan-favorite Snowfall character, Wanda.

The spinoff is a continuation of the original story set in 1990s Los Angeles as South Central transitions out of the crack era into the gangster rap business, with areas heavily infested by gangs led by the Bloods and Crips. Wanda would serve as the connective tissue between the original show and the offshoot, which is expected to introduce other main characters, sources tell Deadline.

It is as yet unknown if any other characters from the original could also appear in the new show.

Malcolm Spellman will serve as executive producer and writer of the pilot. Returning executive producers include Dave Andron (co-creator of...

With the Saint family at odds, chaos and killings run rampant throughout L.A. in the sixth and final season of “Snowfall” on FX. But even amidst the turmoil of a drug war, Leon (Isaiah John) and Wanda (Gail Bean) were able to have their moment in the sun.

Episode 3 titled, “Door of No Return” opens to find Leon wearing an unusual getup that strays from his typical white t-shirt and dickies as he walks the streets of Ghana with Wanda with a haunting question that looms over their heads. (Fans may remember Season 5 left off with the two deciding to run away together to Africa). Do they leave their overseas sanctuary to go back to their home that’s essentially a war zone — or do they stay and build a new life for themselves without the harm of the past holding them down?...

Longtime crime fiction novelist and “Snowfall” writer Walter Mosley says John Singleton gave writers everything creatively that they needed to know to continue “Snowfall” before his April 2019 death.

“Snowfall” is set to premiere its sixth and final season on Feb. 22 on FX. The series has become the network’s top-rated show, averaging 4.3 million total viewers across linear, VOD and streaming with its Season 5 debut.

Aside from its stellar cast, the show’s success can easily be attributed to Dave Andron, co-creater, executive producer and writer; Mosley, executive producer and writer; and the late Singleton, who co-created the series alongside Andron and Eric Amadio. Singleton died about three months before show’s Season 3 premiere, and the show has since maintained the essence and meticulousness of Singleton’s creative decisions and guidance.

The need and desire to see Black, Brown, Asian and Indigenous people on screen has yet to be completely fulfilled by Hollywood, but there has been a recent uptick in Aapi and Bipoc representation on screen. According to a 2021 Nielsen study titled “Being Seen on Screen,” data from the 2021 to 2021 television season showed 78 of the top 1,500 shows had some racial, ethnic or sexual orientation diversity.

And people want more representation, because not only does it increase the self-esteem for people of marginalized groups, reduce stereotypes and support the wants of viewers of color, it helps accurately portray the world and the people in it.

Here are 14 shows (in no particular order) from 2022 that had casts led by people of color that are well worth watching. These series either came out in 2022 or had a season premiere this year.

While a new chapter of wealth and success has begun for Franklin (Damson Idris) and the Saint Family, a disaster is just waiting to happen as the LAPD knocks down their door.

"I feel like in season five, at this point, it's no longer about the family."

Last season of "Snowfall" showed how crucial it is for the Saint family to stick together in times of crisis. But according to Gail Bean - who portrays Wanda in the series - season five is the complete opposite. "I feel like in season five, at this point, it's no longer about the family," she tells Popsugar. "The family is feuding in every area, but I feel like everybody's focus is self-preservation. Their main...

Exclusive: Brandon Jay McLaren (Turner & Hooch) DeVaughn Nixon (Prom) and Tiffany Lonsdale (Siren) are set for heavily recurring roles opposite Damson Idris in the upcoming fifth season of FX drama Snowfall. The series hails from the late Oscar- and Emmy-nominated director John Singleton & Eric Amadio and Dave Andron.

In the most recent fourth season, business is booming. It’s January 1, 1985. Ronald Reagan has won his re-election campaign, proclaiming it is “morning again in America,” but in South Central, Los Angeles, it feels more like the sun is getting low. The demand for crack cocaine is high, and while our crew of dealers led by Franklin Saint (Idris) are benefitting greatly from the rising tide of addiction, they are also starting to become aware of the damage the drug is doing to the people and to the place they love.

McLaren will play Buckley, a detective with the Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums (C.R.A.S.H.) Unit.

Throughout Snowfall Season 4, a usually dominant Franklin Saint has been, well, less so.

Never-ending conflicts with Skully and Manboy, as well as Franklin’s father Alton oversharing with an investigative reporter and Louie almost dying, left Franklin reeling. Throw in his chronic pain after being shot last season, protecting Leon at all costs and a less available Agent Teddy McDonald, aka Reed, and it seems like Franklin is perpetually a step or two behind.
