Fans of FX‘s hit Damson Idris-led series ‘Snowfall‘ are currently enjoying season 5 airing on the network, and on Tuesday it was announced that they have been renewed for a sixth season. However, the sixth will be their final season as the show wraps up the stories of Franklin Saint and Co.
The renewal comes a little more than midway through Season 5, which is pacing as the series most-watched season ever, according to Nielsen and FX, up 6% from the equivalized first six episodes of Season 4 and +55% from Season 3. Season 3 did not air next day on Hulu.
“FX first partnered with legendary writer/director John Singleton and the rest of the creative team six years ago to pursue their vision for an ambitious, powerful drama about the explosion of the crack epidemic of the early 80s,” said Nick Grad, President, Original Programming. “Today, as the fifth season of Snowfall reaches new heights of acclaim and viewership, there is no question that this series has become an FX classic drama. We are thrilled to order a sixth season that will enable Dave Andron, Walter Mosley, and the rest of the producers to bring Snowfall to a climatic finale showcasing the brilliance of everyone involved, from the stellar cast led by Damson Idris, to the writers, directors, artists and crew.”
“To tell a story worth telling, with creative partners you respect and admire, at a network that supports you throughout and allows you to end on your terms. That’s the dream,” said Andron. “I am so grateful to everyone at FX from John Landgraf on down and to the entire Snowfall family for helping us get there. If only John Singleton could be with us for the end.”
Season 5 is currently set in the summer of 1986, so it is unclear if season 6 will likely pick up shortly thereafter or if a time jump is possible.
No word on when production for season 6 is set to start but the premiere is set for 2023 likely.
‘Snowfall’ airs Wednesday nights at 10 PM on FX. Check out the teaser for tomorrow’s new episode.
