The Drop: A Snowfall Saga Season 1 Episode 1, “Click Pop,” premieres Tuesday, September 8 on FX, introducing a new chapter in the world of Snowfall centered on Wanda Bell (Gail Bean) and Leon Simmons (Isaiah John).
Set in 1990s Los Angeles amid the rise of West Coast rap, the series follows Wanda as she tries to break into the booming music scene. She stakes her future on her cousin Lamar Kinsey (Asante Blackk) and rising local rapper Artillery (Simmie “Buddy” Sims III), while Leon warns her about the dangers surrounding the music business.
Wanda’s internship with former drug dealer turned record-label owner Darryl “DG” Grant (Brandon Mychal Smith) gives her an opening into the industry, but her growing ambitions create tension with Leon. After leaving the streets behind, Leon is pursuing his own path toward atonement through a free legal clinic.
The cast also includes Peyton Alex Smith as James Kinsey. Malcolm Spellman created the series and serves as an executive producer alongside Thomas Schlamme, Dave Andron, Michael London, Trevor Engelson, Julie DeJoie and Paul Garnes.
