The “Snowfall” series is getting a spinoff that has been green-lit by FX, according to Variety. Two years after the spinoff was announced as being in early development, Variety reported that FX ordered the pilot episode.

It will be starring Isaiah John and Gail Bean as Leon Simmons and Wanda Bell-Simmons. John and Bean will be playing the couple married in the sixth and final season of “Snowfall”.

The official logline for the pilot states, “Set in 90s Los Angeles soon after the end of the original series, a recovering addict (Bean) strives to take West Coast rap mainstream despite potential infighting from a harrowing gang war.” Previous "Snowfall" producers Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Julie DeJoie, Michael London, and Trevor Engelson will all executive produce the pilot, while screenwriter Malcolm Spellman ("Captain America: Brave New World," "Bel-Air") will write and produce.
