FX’s Snowfall will begin its sixth and final season on February 22. This month, the cast came together for the black carpet premiere at the Ted Mann theatre in Los Angeles.
Series star Damson Idris hit the carpet with his girlfriend, Lori Harvey, joined by the cast, including co-stars Amin Joseph, Gail Bean, Michael Hyatt, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Carter Hudson, Christina Horn, Isaiah John, Angela Lewis, and De’Aundre Bonds.
Actress Angela Lewis who portrays aunt Louie was glowing and pregnant on the carpet; she shared that no one can trust Franklin Saint this season, especially Louie and Uncle Jerome. “I want you to watch him and see how he’s moving and if he is the leader that you want him to be. Is he really the person that Louie should be following?
Actor Brandon Jay McLaren portrays fired LAPD officer Beau Buckley gave EUR insight into what’s in store for his character in the final season, “he gets fired from the LAPD at the end of season five. And now he’s just sort of like whatever Louie wants. Buckley is there because I think that’s all he really wanted in the first place, low-key. To be close to Louie. He’s valuable to her because Buckley knows the ins and outs of the LAPD.
Bonds, who portrays the character of “Skully,” expressed how special it has been to be a part of the critically acclaimed series, especially being the only cast member who is an actual Los Angeles native. The actor said the role was “what I was born to do. I’m always representing LA.)
Executive producer and showrunner Dave Andron said the final season is heartbreaking. But, he explained, “I think it’s just the challenge of landing the plane with so many characters. You’ve got to end so many stories and find a way to do it satisfyingly in a story that I think we all ultimately know has to be a tragedy. So it’s got to feel really, really satisfying. And that’s a challenge.”
It’s October 1986, and as civil war threatens to destroy the Saint family, Franklin is desperate. He is forced to rob his Aunt Louie and Uncle Jerome (Amin Joseph) after being wiped out by former CIA officer Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson). Meanwhile, Louie has taken over Franklin’s role as Teddy’s sole buyer, undercutting her nephew and creating a competing empire. Franklin is now faced with losing everyone he loves and everything he’s built. Coming through it all will mean out-maneuvering the KGB, the DEA, and the CIA and avoiding the LAPD’s fully militarized, wholly corrupt CRASH units.
Snowfall will return to FX Wednesday, February 22, at 10 p.m. ET/PT with two new episodes. The episodes will be available to stream the following day on Hulu.
