Snowfall spinoff in the works focusing on the characters Leon and Wanda...
From Deadline
The Snowfall spinoff series we exclusively revealed to be in early development in 2023, has officially received a pilot order by FX, Deadline has confirmed. Gail Bean and Isaiah John are set to reprise the roles of Wanda and Leon Simmons, respectively.
As previously revealed, the spinoff is a continuation of the original story set in 1990s Los Angeles as South Central transitions out of the crack era into the gangster rap business, with areas heavily infested by gangs led by the Bloods and Crips. Wanda would serve as the connective tissue between the original show and the offshoot, which is expected to introduce other main characters.
Besides Wanda and Leon from the original series, it is unknown if any other surviving character could appear in the new project. Casting is due to begin shortly with the pilot going into production this summer.
The project hails from Snowfall’s Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Julie DeJoie, Michael London and Trevor Engelson who will executive produce alongside writer Malcolm Spellman.
For six seasons, FX’s Snowfall, co-created by John Singleton, chronicled how an off-the-books CIA operation contributed to the destruction rock cocaine leveled upon the vibrant community of South Central L.A.

I’m here for this. Leon was a real soldier and one of the best characters in the series. I’ll watch this.
Will it also focus on the systemic terrorism of the USofA?
