EXCLUSIVE: The untitled Snowfall spinoff series is no longer untitled. The series, starring the mothership’s Gail Bean and Isaiah John, is named The Drop: A Snowfall Saga, Deadline has learned. It will premiere later this year on FX and Hulu and will be available on Disney+ internationally.
The series, from Malcolm Spellman and Snowfall producers, picks up shortly after the conclusion of the original show.
The spinoff was put in development in 2023 as Snowfall’s six-season run came to an end on FX. It was picked up to series in November 2025.
The mothership series ended tragically for the show’s central character, Damson Idris’ Franklin Saint, who spirals into alcoholism after Teddy McDonald, played by Carter Hudson, is killed by Franklin’s mother (Cissy Saint). Franklin loses his $73 million fortune as well as his wife and their unborn child. The final scenes see him homeless and wandering the streets.
Set in ‘90s Los Angeles, the new series follows Snowfall characters Wanda (Bean) and Leon (John) as they fight to take West Coast rap mainstream while gang wars erupt and record labels move to exploit hip hop culture for their own gain.
Asante Blackk, Peyton Alex Smith and Simmie “Buddy” Sims III also star.
Cast also includes Mykelti Williamson, Nicki Micheaux, Brandon Mychal Smith, Isidora Goreshter, Eric Balfour, Richard Portnow, Zaire Adams, Demetrius Grosse and Snowfall alum Quincy Chad.
The Drop: A Snowfall Saga is executive produced by Spellman, Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Julie DeJoie, Michael London, Trevor Engelson and Paul Garnes. The series is produced by FX Productions

Theyll probably do this w/ Saint in like the first 10 minutes of the pilot
Not what I expected...but I'm fucking with it
Good 1st ep so far..
I'm digging the first episode. Looking forward to seeing how it develops. Also, raw is the way for Gail Bean.
I avoid commercials by not watching it early.
Bruh, that scene where Lamar was getting chased by those Crips had me on edge like I was the one they were after. Sadly, that's the reality a lot of young cats had to deal with in that era.
That's exactly the scene I'm speaking off.
It doesn't glorify or romanticize gang banging or gang bangers; that was how a lot of innocent people got caught up, jumped, or killed, or drove kids to gangs so they could have some sort of protection or be able to defend themselves.
First episode was pretty good.
I was rolling with Wanda crawled through that window like a crackhead... She still had skills.

Fucks with it, but the scene of them set claiming and chasing music dude was corny and over the top
Yeah, some of these shows be extra with the shit.
Solid show so far. I'll stick with it.
Bruh.....
Yup, she got DSL!
