FX Entertainment’s Snowfall Season 5 has received a green signal. It is a piece of excellent news for fans worldwide. Snowfall is a crime drama series created by filmmaker John Singleton, who passed away in 2019. This series takes place in Los Angeles in the 1980s. It is set amidst the crack cocaine episode that was taking place in the early 80s and its impact on society.
The protagonist of Snowfall is Franklin Saint, played by Damson Idris, a 20-year-old overambitious drug dealer. The series also follows the stories of a CIA operative, Teddy McDonald, played by Carter Hudson; a Mexican wrestler, Gustavo “El Oso” Zapata, played by Sergio Peris-Mencheta; and Lucia Villanueva, played by Emily Rios, who is the niece of a Mexican crime boss.
Gustavo and Lucia are a couple who are ready to delve into the drug racket despite being aware of the dangers involved. Teddy, the CIA operative, is trying to flee from his dark past and starts an off-the-book operation to fund the Nicaraguan Contras, and faces the hazardous consequences. The characters’ lives are destined to cross as they struggle for power and money.
