A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being invited to a screening/Q&A for the John Singleton created FX series ‘Snowfall’ and was able to meet and interview Mr. Singleton, and the cast.
During our interviews, we discussed the potential for the show, where they would like to take it in the future and more. At the time it was not clear whether FX would renew the series for another season, but it was just announced on Wednesday (Aug. 9) that the series indeed will return for a second season.

The series explores the beginnings of the crack epidemic in Los Angeles from the perspectives of multiple people who are impacted by it in different ways, including: Franklin Saint (Damson Idris), young street entrepreneur on a quest for power; Gustavo “El Oso” Zapata (Sergio Peris-Mencheta), a Mexican wrestler caught up in a power struggle within a crime family; Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson), a CIA operative running from a dark past who begins an off-book operation to fund the Nicaraguan Contras; and Lucia Villanueva (Emily Rios), the self-possessed daughter of a Mexican crime lord.
