Snowfall is making a return to FX. The network has ordered a pilot of a brand new spinoff series with Gail Bean return in the role of Wanda Bell-Simmons, with Isaiah John also reprising his role as Leon Simmons. Variety reported the news first.
This spinoff series has been in development for a few years now, so surely this news will be welcomed by many fans. The official synopsis 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." No further cast announcements have been made for the series. We also do not have a title (as of the yet).
Fans will recall that the characters of Wanda and Leon got married in season six of the original series. Wanda was one of the more interesting characters so to see her get the guy delighted fans. She had an interesting run throughout the series, since first showing up in season two. She had to deal with being homeless, working with some not so nice guys and gang wars.
The series (which aired for six seasons in total) followed a black family in Los Angeles during the rise of the crack epidemic. Side stories included the police and law enforcement attempting to combat the drug related crimes. The new series will most likely following the gang involvements and of course focus on Wanda and Leon.
Although we do not have the cast announcements or a title, we do know that Malcolm Spellman will write and executive produce the pilot episode. Returning are Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Julie DeJoie, Michael London and Trevor Engelson as executive producers. The original Snowfall series ran from 2017 to 2023 on FX and starred Damson Idris, Emily Rios and Carter Hudson.
