The upcoming Snowfall spinoff series has officially received a title ahead of its premiere later this year. According to Deadline, the series will be titled The Drop: A Snowfall Saga and is set to debut on FX and Hulu before becoming available internationally on Disney+.
The series stars Gail Bean (Snowfall, Unexpected, The Belko Experiment) and Isaiah John (Snowfall, All Day and a Night, Downsized), reprising their roles as Wanda and Leon from the original Snowfall series. The spinoff was first announced in 2023 following the conclusion of Snowfall and officially received a series order in November 2025.
Set in 1990s Los Angeles, The Drop: A Snowfall Saga follows Wanda and Leon as they attempt to help bring West Coast rap music into the mainstream. According to the official synopsis, the pair must navigate the growing influence of the music industry while gang violence continues to erupt throughout the city and record labels seek to profit from the rapidly growing hip-hop culture.
Additional cast members include Asante Blackk (When They See Us, This Is Us, Euphoria), Peyton Alex Smith (Detroit, The Longshots, All American: Homecoming), and Simmie “Buddy” Sims III (Dope, Insecure, Gully).
