Show is set in 1990s LA and explores the rise of rap music
Disney-owned FX is returning to its Snowfall universe with a spin-off from the original series, which ended two years ago.
The untitled show is from FX Productions and Malcolm Spellman, who produces alongside Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Julie DeJoie, Michael London and Trevor Engelson from the original.
Spellman and FX previously worked on the docuseries Hip Hop Uncovered.
The upcoming drama is set in 1990s LA, soon after the end of the original series, and will debut on Hulu.
It will track a recovering addict who strives to take West Coast rap mainstream, while gang wars erupt and record labels move to exploit hip hop culture for their own gain.
Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment, said the show would take viewers “to one of the most formative eras” in music with the birth of the West Coast rap revolution.
“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 Gail Bean and Isaiah John, two veterans of Snowfall, who are joined by Asante Blackk, Peyton Alex Smith and Simmie Sims III.
Snowfall ran for six seasons on FX after its debut in 2017, wrapping a 60-episode run in April 2023.
