This story gives away things about Season 5 of Snowfall.
Since July 2017, FX’s drama series Snowfall has been a powerful reminder of how the war on drugs changed America for good. The late director John Singleton, who worked on movies like Boyz n the Hood, helped make the show.
Every week, it was like watching a classic gangster movie, with all the gore and social commentary on drug dealing and addiction that the best ones have. In 2017, Singleton told Thrillist, “I really wanted to see how it went from what we saw in my first movie, Boyz n the Hood, to how it got that way.”
The show’s main character, Damson Idris, became a worldwide star, and it was FX’s most-watched show ever. It wasn’t afraid to make fans fall in love with characters right before they were shot to death.
Snowfall takes place in Los Angeles in the 1980s, when there was a big problem with cocaine. It is a coming-of-age story on crack. Snowfall has been about Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) for five seasons.
During that time, Franklin has grown up from a teenager to an adult, and the show has followed his rise from helping his uncle Jerome Saint (Amin Joseph) with his street cannabis business to becoming the biggest crack cocaine dealer in all of Los Angeles.
What started out as a serious effort to get out of poverty and achieve the American dream of financial stability for him and his family turned into a slow and terrifying descent into Franklin’s involvement in the US government and President Ronald Reagan’s secret plan to fund Nicaraguan rebels fighting against Cuban-backed Sandinistas who were trying to bring communism to the area.
At first, Franklin didn’t even know he was doing this. Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson), a former CIA agent turned obsessive drug dealer, gave Franklin the purest cocaine from Colombia. Franklin got rich, and the government got money for the war, but at the cost of too many lives to count.
Through Franklin, viewers of Snowfall got an honest look at how the U.S.’s war on drugs made people less human, whether they were dealers, users, or bystanders.
What Will Happen in Season 6 of Snowfall?
The end of Season 5 set up the last season to be a bloodbath like nothing we’ve ever seen on Snowfall. Everyone has made their own groups, and most of the people they are trying to get rid of are each other.
Franklin and his mother Cissy will use the KGB to go after Teddy and anyone else who gets in their way, including family after Teddy, took out all $73 million of Franklin’s drug money from Cayman Island accounts. Franklin left his drug operation to live a more honest life, so Teddy did this.
That’s fine with Louie, who promised to kill Franklin the next time she sees him after he pulled a gun on the aunt-in-law he used to love and threatened to kill her. He did this because he thinks her secret business relationship with Teddy caused the fall of his empire and, with it, any chance he had of having a normal life.
Franklin may be the least of Louie’s worries since she and Jerome will have to fill Franklin’s role as Teddy’s main distributor while also dealing with a war Franklin started by telling Kane, the drug dealer Louie tried to have killed in retaliation, that Louie had sent a hit on his life.

Who Will Be on the Snowfall Season 6 Cast?
Only Carter Hudson (Teddy McDonald), Isaiah John (Leon Simmons), Amin Joseph (Jerome Saint), Sergio Peris-Mencheta (Gustavo ‘El Oso’ Zapata), Angela Lewis (Aunt Louie), and Michael Hyatt (Cissy Saint) have been in at least 40 of the show’s 50 episodes.
Each of them lives through the end of Season 5 and plays a key role in setting up the tension for Season 6, so it’s a safe bet that they’ll all be back for Season 6. But they will be joined by a few new people who stood out in Season 5.
Devyn Tyler will likely appear in Season 6 of Snowfall Alejandro Edda’s job as KGB spy Rubén is nowhere near over, and he’ll probably appear in the final season. DeVaughn Nixon is also practically confirmed to appear after learning about Louie’s assassination attempt.
Unfortunately, not everyone in Season 5 made it out alive. Avi Drexler, played by Alon Aboutboul, was an Israeli drug kingpin and gun runner. In the Season 5 finale, Rubén killed him after getting the information he needed to expose Teddy and the CIA.
Final seasons often show how far the characters have come, so it’s not impossible that Avi will show up in Season 6 in a flashback.
Is Season 6 the Last Season of Snowfall?
Yes. Franklin Saint’s empire, which he built brick by brick (of cocaine), will be back for a sixth season before it leaves TV, likely for good. FX renewed the critically acclaimed drama for a sixth and final season just days before the drug dealers at Louie and Jerome’s wedding in the eighth episode of the fifth season all got high on LSD.
Snowfall showrunner Dave Andron has been working on the show since April 2016, when he helped Singleton and Amadio rewrite the pilot. He talked about the six-year process of making Singleton’s vision for TV a reality.
“To tell a story worth telling, with creative partners you respect and admire, at a network that supports you throughout and lets you end on your own terms. This is the goal. Everyone at FX, from John Landgraf to the rest of the Snowfall cast and crew, helped us get there. If only John Singleton could be with us until the end.”
