The epic conclusion to the late John Singleton’s visionary crime drama is finally hitting the screen in February. The previous seasons of FX’s Snowfall rapidly drew a dedicated fanbase, and the renewal of the critically acclaimed series for a sixth and final season has fans desperate to learn more about the development of the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles, as well as the future of the show’s protagonist, Franklin Saint, as he’s set to reclaim his place as one of LA’s most vicious drug lords.
With Snowfall Season 6 just around the corner, find out how to watch new episodes in Australia here.
What’s in this Guide?
Snowfall Season 6 preview
Snowfall’s trailer for the upcoming sixth season promises a more gripping experience as the series comes to an end. The stakes are even higher in Season 6 with Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) going through lethal confrontations with several organisations (LAPD, KGB, the DEA and the CIA), especially after his operations were decimated by former CIA officer Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson).
Considering his fights being done left, right, and centre, will he be able to protect his loved ones as his battle seems to lay waste to everything it touches? Another crucial question that fans want to know, will Franklin manage to bring his struggling empire back to its former glory, choosing to steal from his uncle Jerome (Amin Joseph) and aunt Louie (Angela Lewis)?
Based on the teaser and the Snowfall Season 5 finale, it’s likely that Season 6 will provide more action and family conflict. For starters, a civil war threatens to ravage the Saint family with Franklin and his aunt, Louie fighting over authority. While specific details on the new season have yet to be known, we can only expect that it will be explosive and bittersweet for Franklin and everyone around him.
From the beginning, it has been established that Snowfall covers a very dark moment in history. As such, it’s only fitting for the series to also end that exact same way. Snowfall co-creator Dave Andron also teased in an interview last year that “the story has to ultimately be a tragedy.”
We’ll know more as soon as new episodes roll out in Australia.
Snowfall is created and executive produced by the late John Singleton alongside Eric Amadio and Dave Andron. Also serving as executive producers are Thomas Schlamme, Michael London, Trevor Engelson, Leonard Chang, Walter Mosley, and Julie DeJoie.
