Snowfall fans are getting closer to a spin-off.

Deadline revealed in 2023 that a spinoff of the FX series was in early development, though a pilot was officially ordered by the network in March of this year, per Variety. More details surrounding the project — for which a title has yet to be announced — have come to light.

Created by John Singleton, who passed away in 2019, Snowfall followed the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles in the ’80s. The series debuted in 2017, and ran for six seasons on FX, starring Damson Idris, Carter Hudson, Isaiah John, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Angela Lewis, Amin Joseph, Michael Hyatt, and Gail Bean.

Isaiah John and Gail Bean are reprising their roles as Leon Simmons and Wanda Bell-Simmons, per Variety. The two actors’ characters tied the knot in Season 6 of the original series.

Meanwhile Variety also announced that Asante Blackk (This is Us, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder), Peyton Alex Smith (All American: Homecoming), and Simmie Sims III, who performs with the name Buddy (Rap Sh!t) have been cast as series regulars, though intel on their roles has yet to be revealed.

What is the Snowfall spin-off pilot about?

Deadline had teased that the pilot, written by executive producer Malcolm Spellman, would be set in the ’90s back in 2023. According to Variety, the logline of the pilot goes as follows:

“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.”
