By Aarush Sharma On Dec 24, 2022

Snowfall is an American crime drama television series that premiered on FX on July 5, 2017. It was created by John Singleton, Eric Amadio, and Dave Andron.

The series is set in Los Angeles in 1983 and revolves around the city’s first crack epidemic.

The show follows the lives of several characters whose paths cross: 20-year-old drug dealer Franklin Saint, Mexican luchador Gustavo “El Oso” Zapata, CIA operative Teddy McDonald, and the niece of a Mexican crime boss, Lucia Villanueva.

Snowfall Season 6 Release Date

Season 6 of Snowfall will debut on February 22, 2023, with a two-episode premiere.

The show will then air on a weekly basis from then on.

Snowfall Season 6 Plot Speculation

With drug dealer Kane out for vengeance after Franklin told him Louie tried to kill him, we can expect a sixth season full of backstabbing, betrayal, and bloodshed — but only if the US Government gets to the core characters first.

This is because, as Leon, Franklin’s best friend and former second-in-command of The Family, revealed, the US Government is cracking down on drugs more than ever.

With Snowfall set in the 1980s, Leon is most likely referring to Ronald Reagan’s Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, which stated that possession of five grams of crack cocaine would be punished the same as possession of 500 grams of powder cocaine.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Dave Andron also revealed that we can expect a much “heavier” season 6.

“I think we’ve always tried to keep a light touch in this show. Obviously, the show is about very serious issues and a very dark period in American history.

We tried to find some levity in that because there is a lot of humor in the world, and it’s part of how people survive day to day. “I think this last season, the story has to end in tragedy, and this last season is going to feel a little heavier,” he said.

“The last two seasons, I think you can feel the moments when we’re trying to have things have a lighter touch, and then the last two episodes settle into a very specific tone,” says the show’s creator. And I believe that tone will be more pronounced in the final season.”

As the series grand finale, we can expect to see all of the main characters return, including Franklin (Damson Idris), Teddy (Carter Hudson), Jerome (Amin Joseph), and Louie (Anglea Davis). But whether they’ll make it through the season is another question…
