'Snowfall' fans were happy and shocked to hear that Season 6 would be it's final season. Cast-members took to Instagram to thank fans with the news as we prepare to say goodbye to the show. Damson Idris who plays "Franklin Saint" the lead character on the show wrote:
Thank you to everyone that has supported this journey. I got this role when I was 23 years old. I’m now 30. Legacy stuff. What a ride it has been. Only the beginning.
Amin Joseph who plays the fan favorite role of "Uncle Jerome" took to his Instagram to write in his stories "I wish my cast and crew the best. It was a good ride."
The news comes as 'Snowfall' reaches its highest ratings in viewership than any season prior. The hit show which was co-created by the late John Singleton, is currently 8 episodes into it's 5th season.
“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. “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. We are thrilled to order a sixth season that will enable Dave Andron, Walter Mosley, and the rest of the producers to bring Snowfall to a climatic finale showcasing the brilliance of everyone involved, from the stellar cast led by Damson Idris, to the writers, directors, artists and crew.”
