Snowfall Season 7 Renewal Status
After six fantastic seasons, we must break the news that the show will no longer be continuing.
This is bad news, we know, but we feel obligated to set the record straight for the fandom. You may recall that the network FX, where Snowfall airs, made the first announcement that the series had been renewed for a fifth season. However, the network confirmed in May 2021 that the show would be canceled after season six. Both the show’s audience and its creators were disappointed by this announcement, as they had high hopes for the show’s future.
Snowfall Storyline
The initial crack outbreak in Los Angeles occurred during a snowy period, between 1983 and 1990. Several people’s paths cross here, and that affects the state of the city.
Franklin Saint, a 20-year-old dealer, crosses paths with Gustavo El Oso Zapata, a Mexican luchador. As their friendship grows, they embark on a CIA mission to stop the drug trade while undercover. The lives of many people in the city were affected by the pandemic, and the tale of how they coped with it is told in this series.

Snowfall Season 6 Recap
The show detailed how an unofficial CIA operation aided the spread of rock cocaine, which decimated a once-thriving neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles. This is the official season summary: In this final season, set in October 1986, civil war poses a grave threat to the Saints. After losing everything to ex-CIA officer Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson), Franklin (Damson Idris) becomes desperate and resorts to robbing his Aunt Louie (Angela Lewis) and Uncle Jerome (Amin Joseph).
In the meantime, Louie has replaced Franklin as Teddy’s main purchaser, thereby undercutting her nephew and establishing a rival enterprise. Franklin must now outwit the KGB, the DEA, and the CIA while evading the LAPD’s fully armed, totally corrupt C.R.A.S.H. units in order to save the people and business he has built up from oblivion. When everyone’s backs are against the wall, what kind of people will they become?
