What is the Snowfall season 6 release date? Snowfall is a fast-paced, slick crime drama series that documents America’s crack epidemic of 1983 and the subsequent ‘war on drugs’ that left a dark mark on the country’s history.
The TV series was co-created by the late John Singleton, who was known for directing drama movies like Boyz N the Hood. After five seasons, Snowfall’s fanbase has continued to grow, with the series becoming television network FX’s most-watched original show. At the centre of Snowfall is Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) who, through the course of the show, goes from his uncle Jerome’s protégé in the LA drug scene to a fearsome kingpin.
After Singleton passed away in 2o19, it was up to co-showrunner Dave Andron and the leading cast to carry on the series’ legacy. Speaking to The Source at the time, Idris said, “I made it our sole aim to create art. and put art into the universe that Singleton would be proud of.” Now, as the series gears towards its epic conclusion, the time has come to talk about the Snowfall season 6 release date, plot, cast, and more.

Is there a Snowfall season 6 trailer?
Yes, FX released the official Snowfall season 6 trailer in 2023. In the clip, Franklin is back and is ready to take back his empire.

What happens in the Snowfall season 6 plot?
The Snowfall season 6 plot is full of backstabbing, betrayal, and bloodshed. And of course, the US Government’s investigation, too.
This is because, as revealed by Leon — Franklin’s best friend and former second-in-command of The Family — the US Government are cracking down on drugs more than ever. With Snowfall being set in the ’80s, it is likely that what Leon is referring to is Ronald Reagan’s Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, which stipulated that the possession of five grams of crack cocaine will be punished as severely as the possession of 500 grams of powder cocaine.
Showrunner Dave Andron also revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that we can expect a much “heavier” season 6.
“I think we’ve always tried to keep a bit of the light touch in this show. Obviously, the show is about very serious things and about a very dark moment in American history. We’ve tried to kind of find some of the levity in that because there is a lot of humour in the situations in the world, and it’s part of how people survive day to day. I think this last season, the story has to ultimately be a tragedy, and this last season is going to feel, I think, 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. And I think the last season is going to be more represented by that tone.”
