“Today, as the fifth season of Snowfall reaches new heights of acclaim and viewership, there is no question that this series has become an FX classic drama. “FX first partnered with legendary writer/director John Singleton and the rest of the creative team six years ago to pursue their vision for an ambitious, powerful drama about the explosion of the crack epidemic of the early 80s,” said Nick Grad, President, Original Programming. The renewal comes a little more than midway through Season 5, which is pacing as the series most-watched season ever, according to Nielsen and FX, up 6% from the equivalized first six episodes of Season 4 and +55% from Season 3. The network has renewed the series, co-created by the late John Singleton, for a sixth and final season. The end is in sight for FX’s critically acclaimed drama series Snowfall.
