Snowfall is returning for an all-new season in February. The FX series created by the late John Singleton is set in Los Angeles in the 1980s and focuses on the first crack epidemic and its impact on various characters in the city. The upcoming season is season 4, which takes viewers to 1985 and the demand for crack is at an all-time high. The series tells "the stories of several characters whose lives are fated to intersect: 20-year-old drug dealer Franklin Saint, Mexican luchador Gustavo 'El Oso' Zapata, CIA operative Teddy McDonald, and a Mexican crime boss's niece, Lucia Villanueva." Watch the Snowfall season 4 trailer below.
Snowfall season 4 will arrive on FX on February 24, 2021, with the first two episodes premiering on the first night, followed by a new episode each subsequent week. In this new season, "Business is booming in season four of Snowfall. It's January 1, 1985. Ronald Reagan has won his re-election campaign proclaiming it is "morning again in America," but in South Central, Los Angeles, it feels more like the sun is getting low. The demand for crack cocaine is high, and while our crew of dealers led by Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) are benefitting greatly from the rising tide of addiction, they are also starting to become aware of the damage the drug is doing to the people and to the place they love. With the entire nation taking note, the LAPD is diverting serious money and resources to the "war on drugs." Politicians' phones are ringing. Powerful people are concerned, from the hallways of The White House to those of CIA headquarters, where there are whispers that one of their own may be involved in this burgeoning epidemic."
A key element in this season was exploring the relationship between Franklin and his father Alton (Kevin Carroll), a former Black Panther who became estranged from his family only to take hesitant steps to reconnect with his son.
FX later confirmed that Snowfall Season 5 would be set in the fallout of the tragic death of Len Bias, who overdosed on cocaine shortly after being selected by the Boston Celtics in the 1986 NBA Draft. The season will also detail the creation of the C.R.A.S.H. (Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums) unit. All of this creates one dangerous situation for Franklin Saint and his operation.
Just like the first four seasons of the FX crime drama series, Snowfall Season 5 will consist of 10 one-hour (including commercials) episodes, as was announced by the network in December 2021. A new episode will air each Wednesday and will be available to stream the following day on Hulu.
In March 2021, when the announcement came down, Deadline reported that Snowfall had seen tremendous ratings growth in its fourth season and was up 41% over the same period in the previous season, and was averaging 5.1 million viewers on TV and streaming. When sharing the Season 5 release date in late 2021, FX revealed that the show was its most-watched series of the year. 041b061a72
