The Drop: Snowfall’s official spin-off with Leon and Wanda premieres in September

Honestly? 2026 is low-key one of the best years in regard to quality content and entertainment - the video game industry is feasting with Grand Theft Auto VI and Call of Duty’s Modern Warfare 4 brewing but how about TV getting more epic especially with a ‘Snowfall’ spin-off - ‘The Drop’ coming? My goodness.

I am beyond pumped and the excitement is definitely building. Peep the deets of this 90’s-based setting.

FX’s “The Drop: A Snowfall Saga,” the new drama from Malcolm Spellman and producers of the acclaimed FX series “Snowfall,” will premiere Tuesday, September 8 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on FX and Hulu. One new episode of the eight-episode series will be available weekly following the premiere. The series will also stream on Disney+ internationally.

“The Drop: A Snowfall Saga” follows “Snowfall” characters Wanda Bell (Gail Bean) and Leon Simmons (Isaiah John) as they fight to reinvent themselves in 90s Los Angeles, where the fallout from the crack epidemic is fueling a new game: the rise of West Coast rap.

Wanda starts the series driven by the clear belief that West Coast rap has the power to reshape American culture. She will work to put together a ragtag group of geniuses and lead them to the realization of all their dreams. To do it, she must navigate the dangerous overlap of music and street politics, pulling in those closest to her including her cousins Lamar Kinsey (Asante Blackk) and James Kinsey (Peyton Alex Smith) and pursuing volatile local rapper Artillery (Simmie “Buddy” Sims III), who is already in a tangle with law enforcement. 

Her internship with former D-boy-turned-label-owner Darryl “DG” Grant (Brandon Mychal Smith) creates opportunities but also deepens tensions between Wanda and Leon, who has vowed to leave the streets for good and chase down his own atonement through his free legal clinic.  As ambition, loyalty, and survival collide, how much is everyone willing to risk in order to build something lasting in a world that threatens to pull them down?

Joining the series regulars are Mykelti Williamson, Nicki Micheaux, Brandon Mychal Smith, Isidora Goreshter, Eric Balfour, Richard Portnow, Zaire Adams, Demetrius Grosse and Quincy Chad, who also returns from “Snowfall.”

The series is executive produced by Malcolm Spellman, Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Julie DeJoie, Michael London, Trevor Engelson and Paul Garnes. The series is produced by FX Productions.
