Snowfall spinoff gets title: The Drop premieres on FX in 2026

FX has officially titled its Snowfall spinoff “The Drop: A Snowfall Saga,” with the series set to premiere later in 2026 on FX and Hulu. The announcement came on June 2, 2026, ending months of speculation about what the long-anticipated snowfall spinoff would be called.

Set in 1990s Los Angeles, the new series follows Snowfall characters Wanda and Leon as they fight to take West Coast rap mainstream while gang wars erupt and record labels move to exploit hip-hop culture for their own gain. Gail Bean reprises her role as Wanda, with Isaiah John returning as Leon. The cast also includes Asante Blackk, Peyton Alex Smith, Simmie “Buddy” Sims III, Mykelti Williamson, Nicki Micheaux, Brandon Mychal Smith, Isidora Goreshter, Eric Balfour, Richard Portnow, Zaire Adams, Demetrius Grosse, and Snowfall alum Quincy Chad.

The spinoff was put in development in 2023 as Snowfall’s six-season run concluded on FX. It was picked up to series in November 2025. The series is executive produced by Malcolm Spellman, Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Julie DeJoie, Michael London, Trevor Engelson, and Paul Garnes, and is produced by FX Productions. The series will also be available on Disney+ internationally.
