Snowfall‘ fans were saddened of the news that the show would end after airing on FX from 2017 to 2023.

However, word of a planned spin-off made its rounds amid the airing of the final season, but it’s been radio silence since.

Now, there is movement in the series set to center around two of the show’s main stars according to Variety:

The untitled drama was first reported to be in early development in 2023 ahead of the series finale of “Snowfall.” As reported at the time, “Snowfall” star Gail Bean will return for the spinoff in the role of Wanda Bell-Simmons. She will be joined by fellow original cast member Isaiah John, who played Leon Simmons.

“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.”

Malcolm Spellman will write and executive produce the pilot, with “Snowfall” alums Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Julie DeJoie, Michael London and Trevor Engelson all executive producing as well. FX Productions is the studio.
