Popular FX TV Show Gets Spin-off Greenlight, Release Date Window Announced

A popular FX TV show is being revived, with a spin-off series already having a planned release date window.

What FX show is getting a spin-off?

According to a new report from Deadline, Snowfall, the popular FX drama, has been given a series order for a spin-off series. A pilot order for the show originally occurred in March, and it seems like FX is ready to go all in on the new project. The Snowfall spin-off still has no name, but will be a follow-up to the original series.

The new spin-off will be set in 1990s Los Angeles, soon after the original series’ ending. The project will revolve around “recovering addict who strives to take West Coast rap mainstream — while gang wars erupt and record labels move to exploit hip hop culture for their own gain,” according to the show’s logline.

Original series cast members Gail Bean and Isaiah John will reprise their roles of Wanda and Leon Simmons, respectively, for the show. Asante Blackk, Peyton Alex Smith, and Simmie Sims III will also star in the series. Malcolm Spellman serves as writer on the project, as well as executive producer.

The original Snowfall series premiered in 2017, and ran for six seasons and 60 episodes before ending in 2023. The series starred Damson Idris as Franklin Saint, a budding drug dealer that sells crack cocaine during the beginning of the crack epidemic in 1980s South Central Los Angeles, as well as his eventual rise to power as a prominent drug dealer and run-ins with the CIA and Mexican cartels.
