FX Orders Snowfall Spin-Off

FX has ordered a spin-off of Snowfall, set after the end of the original series, to air on FX and Hulu next year.

“This new series takes us back to one of the most formative eras in music, with the birth of the West Coast rap revolution,” said Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment. “We worked with Malcolm Spellman on the documentary series Hip Hop Uncovered, and he has encyclopedic knowledge of this material. This is a breakout starring role for Gail Bean and, as always, Isaiah John is terrific along with the ensemble cast. Snowfall was one of the most successful FX dramas ever, and we’re excited that Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme and other veterans of the Snowfall creative team are on board.”

The new drama stars Bean and John, two veterans of Snowfall, who are joined by Asante Blackk, Peyton Alex Smith and Simmie Sims III.

The untitled series is executive produced by Spellman, Andron, Schlamme, Julie DeJoie, Michael London and Trevor Engelson. It is produced by FX Productions.
