FX will expand the Snowfall universe with an untitled spinoff series set in Los Angeles during the 1990s.

Snowfall, which aired on FX from 2017 to 2023, chronicled the early days of the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles during the 1980s.

The Snowfall spinoff comes from writer Malcolm Spellman and the creative team behind the original series, including Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Julie DeJoie, Michael London, and Trevor Engelson.

“This new series takes us back to one of the most formative eras in music with the birth of the West Coast rap revolution,” said Nick Grad, President of FX Entertainment in a statement. “We worked with Malcolm Spellman on the documentary series Hip Hop Uncovered, and he has encyclopedic knowledge of this material.
