The Drop: A Snowfall Saga Premieres September 8 on FX and Hulu

Wanda and Leon are back. The Drop: A Snowfall Saga, FX's spinoff of the crime drama Snowfall, premieres Tuesday, September 8 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on FX and Hulu, with episodes then added to Hulu's streaming library (Deadline).

The eight-episode season releases weekly on Tuesdays, concluding with a finale on October 27 (The Hollywood Reporter). For viewers outside the United States, the series streams on Disney+ — in Australia it arrives a day later, on September 9 (Disney+ Australia). FX's own Snowfall page confirms the Disney+ international availability (FX Networks).

The spinoff picks up with Wanda, played by Gail Bean, and Leon, played by Isaiah John, in 1990 Los Angeles (The Hollywood Reporter). Both characters carried over from the original series, where their stories threaded through the show's portrait of the crack cocaine epidemic in 1980s LA. The Drop shifts the franchise's focus from the drug trade to the music industry — specifically, the rise of West Coast rap (The Hollywood Reporter).

The premiere lands more than three years after Snowfall concluded its 60-episode run (The Hollywood Reporter). FX set the September 8 date back in June, when Variety first reported the network's plans for the series (Variety).

For fans of the original, the appeal is straightforward: two familiar faces, a new decade, and a world built around music rather than the corners that defined Snowfall's first run. The weekly release schedule means the conversation around each episode has room to build through October.

The Drop: A Snowfall Saga is available on FX and Hulu in the United States and on Disney+ in international markets.
