The “Snowfall” spinoff just took a major step forward, with the potential series scoring a pilot order at FX, Variety has learned exclusively.

The untitled drama was first reported to be in early development in 2023 ahead of the series finale of “Snowfall.” As reported at the time, “Snowfall” star Gail Bean will return for the spinoff in the role of Wanda Bell-Simmons. She will be joined by fellow original cast member Isaiah John, who played Leon Simmons.

The official logline for the pilot states, “Set in 90s Los Angeles soon after the end of the original series, a recovering addict (Bean) strives to take West Coast rap mainstream despite potential infighting from a harrowing gang war.”
