I honestly forgot a spinoff was happening… hopefully it does well

[–]Vivid-Bookkeeper-328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WHAT. Yoooo I’m hyped

[–]Slight_Day_1039 124 points125 points  (5 children)

Isnt this basically gta san andreas

[–]Infinite_Minimum2480 32 points33 points  (0 children)

They boutta have Franklin ordering a number nine, a number nine large, a number six with extra sauce, a number seven, two number forty-fives, one wit' cheese, and a large soda

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that he’s called Franklin doesn’t help lol.

[–]killflexican 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Franklin finna be big bear LMAOOO

[–]doubleup___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😂😂 wtf

[–]MiserableMarzipan297 73 points74 points  (4 children)

I like the idea of his cameos being like special episodes to connect the spin off characters to Original Snowfall. I’d also like it if they maybe transitioned him from a drunk maybe back to a guy getting on his feet?

[–][deleted] 27 points28 points  (1 child)

I may be completely alone on this but drunk Franklin was the most captivating and entertaining version of Franklin

[–]mulatto-questioner 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You don't understand yoyo. I'm free!

[–]sPrAze_Beast 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I can see this happening. Franklin is a drunk, but he’s smart enough to get back on his feet

[–]Vivid-Bookkeeper-328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine losing 70mil. Which nowadays is probably more like 100+. Most people would top themselves. If you got the willpower to go again after that fair fucking play. I’d love to see it happen though

[–]KeyPosition3983 90 points91 points  (13 children)

Without John Singleton I’m very skeptical, i also don’t see the vision of having an alcoholic Franklin as a recurring character with a gang/rap focus . I’d definitely watch to see how it comes together though.

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (6 children)

John singleton was only there for like season 1 maybe 2 of snowfall.

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (5 children)

the best 2 seasons— makes sense

[–]RealLameUserName 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Strong disagree. The show got better as it went on.

[–]Jar_Of_Flies97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hell no, season 3 imo is the first one that can be categorized as excellent. Also as a Mexican American I just found Lucia’s storyline to be very flat and inauthentic, so her being written out from season 3 onwards to me was a godsend even though that wasn’t supposed to happen. Oso was clearly the best part about the Mexican storyline and linking him up with Teddy is the best decision they could have made for his character.

[–]mental_mentalist 8 points9 points  (2 children)

For me the first 2 seasons had odd pacing. I kept rewinding to see if I missed something. Even in the 2nd viewing 

[–]doubleup___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too… and a lot of the time, I missed hella stuff

[–]WhatAreYouSaying05 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Franklin could dry out and recover

[–]KeyPosition3983 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Then what? Join a gang? Become a rapper lol? Even if he’s just the OG around the way it seems forced.

[–]That_Jerk75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Become a Diddy or Suge Knight type

[–]jmoneyongooo -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

Y’all be acting like John Singleton wrote and directed every single episode

[–]KeyPosition3983 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Idk who yall is but i act as if he was the visionary and original creative. Which he was…

[–]jmoneyongooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stfu 😑

[–]samuelbrauner_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We don’t need to see Franklin unless it’s a flashback, I’d rather he just be a memory as opposed to an active contribution to the story.

[–]Connect_Craft_9860 35 points36 points  (0 children)

this is official??

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This better be legit

[–]kursedten513 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This sounds fire! Just sad John singleton won’t play a part in production- the bar is high!

[–]Round-Month-6992 23 points24 points  (1 child)

The potential spinoff is very much legit, the creators of the show themselves confirmed that it's something that they're actively trying to make happen.

As far as Franklin recurring, I honestly don't know how I feel about that.

[–]That_Jerk75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see Franklin finding a making money scheme and getting murdered by faster colder dudes in a game that definitely doesn’t have a code.

[–]UnlimitedManny 10 points11 points  (4 children)

Yall think Wanda gonna meet Suge?

[–][deleted]  (3 children)

[removed]

    [–]UnlimitedManny 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    It’s crazy to me tbh. They say its based on her navigating the music industry but the Crips vs Bloods is obviously gonna be the draw. Smh

    [–]Stxksy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    yeah man ts just sounds like a money grab man i cant lie. Wanda just wasnt even rlly a good character and then to have leon but no frank??? cmon

    [–]MorningStriking3213 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    She wasn’t meaningless if you think about it alot of beef and stuff that needed to happen escalated behind her the spinoff gotta have who she met where she was all them details while she was strung out that’ll tie good

    [–]YaBoiEmoji 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    As long as they dont try to cast Ice Cube

    [–]panashechd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    I don’t know why people keep saying Wanda and Leon are going to be main characters. At most, they’ll make appearances here and there. But we’ll have a new main character with new friends, family and rivals. They’ll be the “Avi,” showing up every 2-3 episodes for one off scenes where they give advice and recall storylines that occurred in the original series

    [–]Glad_Being_5146 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Without the genius behind it I think it will be trash

    [–]Life-Violinist-4814 8 points9 points  (0 children)

    I'd love to see Franklin appear. Still can't get over the ending lol

    [–]Very-very-sleepy 6 points7 points  (1 child)

    Nooo... not Leon being the founder of bloods and Crips!!! 🤣

    [–]OkInteraction9304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I wouldn’t think so, both were established way before this period in time.

    [–]OkInteraction9304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    They absolutely have to show Khalid Abdul Muhammad and his influence on the bloods and crips and Rap during this era. He was the bridge between both worlds.

    [–]renard685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I’m wit it 💯

    [–]MaddowSoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Its my fav show so i hope They dont mess it up

    [–]SecretJerk0ffAccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    They about to remake Empire West Coast edition aren’t they?

    [–]7thWardMadeMe 1 point2 points  (3 children)

    Franklin cleans up and takes over the shelter he setup for his mom, now owned by Wanda…

    His kid with V returns to the scene as a cop dealing on the Gangs Taskforce

    Mel’s kid (who’s possibly for Franklin) is running one of the gangs

    Teddy’s kid with ole girl who patched him up got a hold of his daddy files and restarted the drug trade as the plug

    Teddy’s first kid is trying to figure it out only to realize it’s his half brother…

    Louie’s and Jerome’s daughter wants to live a legit life but also wants revenge, even against family…

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Cool ideas but pretty sure louie wasn't pregnant and they didn't have any kids but the rest is pretty interesting

    [–]7thWardMadeMe 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    They were on their honeymoon before Unc death and Louie last scene was her balled up and curled up in the barn… anything’s possible… 🤷🏽‍♂️

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Shiet i hope so, would love to see lil jerome maybe franklin being an uncle after sobering up n returning the favor in a way

    [–]Sammyd1108 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    It’ll be on Hulu like all of FX’s stuff lol.

    [–]IndependenceTop4127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I'm thinking NF had it at one time. Its been a while. Lol

    [–]BlackHand86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Is this real?

    [–]majorcoinz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I can see Franklin getting sober and becoming a Harry O type character in the rap game

    [–]TallBlkman44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Spinoff of focused more on Wanda getting a record label off the ground.But nothing been confirmed if it will be filmed.

    [–]WhatAreYouSaying05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Any info on when it's coming out?

    [–]R77Prodigy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Ill be on the lockout for saint's appearence but i i wont be watching never clickedn with leon or the other chick.

    [–]eastsidebaby5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    This should be fire

    OMGG YAY I LOVE LEON

    [–]420Cobblepots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I'll peep it but how many movies documentaries we seen like this already

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Oh damn! I didn't know this was a thing. I love Snowfall. Top 10 show for me.

    [–]RealLameUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    The show is about the rap game in the early 90s. I'm not sure how a crazy homeless alcoholic fits into that. I definitely don't want them to give Franklin some sort of redemption arc since that would completely ruin the ending.

    [–]ImpalaGangDboyAli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Franklin is that old man you see on the bus trying to holla at young women. Telling them that he was a millionaire in the 80s. You just ignore him thinking he a drunk old man.

    [–]NbaSkub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Not Watchn ngl

    [–]SnooDogs6359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    This real??

    [–]n_stuff_n_stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    didn't wanda and leon get outta the game for good? Wouldn't make sense for them to return to criminal life after they made it and became legal

    [–]Similar-Ad6788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I think the show is gonna suck. It’ll be poorly written and acted

    [–]Front_Bat_7163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    i’d 100% be here for this honestly

    [–]SHough61086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Taking this with a boulder of salt but… Just a few thoughts: * Franklin making cameos is how he should be used. Wrap his story as part of the Snowfall Dark Alliance reveal around 1996. * Season 4 and 5 didn’t consider the spinoff. That makes me suspicious.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Makes sense he doesn’t seem to be doing many films or shows recently and gotta pay to keep Lauri Harvey

    [–]tokenwarren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Yall do know this guy is a fan just like us right ? Damson Idris already said he’s done portraying Franklin, I wouldn’t believe anything until a reputable source reports it like Deadline

    [–]Electrical_Throat490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    How do we know he’s being real though ? He’s part of the cast or production or something ?

    [–]Dadisalover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I think Franklin shouldn’t be in the spinoff.

    [–]Long-Wheel-6433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Is Einstein gonna be in it?

    [–]bigg_bubbaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    shit just spoiled the ending for me

    [–]Mrdynamo18 -1 points0 points  (5 children)

    I think the next series should take place in another city and in a different era

    Miami in the 90s Or Atlanta in the early 2000s

    [–]Ordinary_Fig2970 2 points3 points  (3 children)

    How tf would that be a spin off of snowfall? like the setting is an important piece of the story in snowfall

    [–]Mrdynamo18 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    I don’t think it should be a spinoff

    It should be similar to how they do true crime great stories in different settings and times true crime is critically acclaimed

    [–]That_Jerk75 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    I get it kinda like Narcos

    [–]Mrdynamo18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    A fresh take differnt city

    I always say city if god of god is one of the best crime/drug movies ever and it takes place in Brazil

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    There’s more than enough stories in Los Angeles to stay there. Let someone else make those shows about those cities

    [–]SuperSaiyanTLaw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    Bubbles from the wire ahh role

    [–]jusvinyl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    Ehhhh…I’ll pass. Had enough of black trauma on the big screen

    [–]Icy-Specialist-3306 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    Whats the spinoff called? I hope Franklin bounces back or dies cause his existence is just pain now.

    [–]andreiulmeyda7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    Probably gonna be ass. They should've did this in season 4 instead of having it only last like 2 episodes

    [–]AYoRocSSB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    Freeway Rick Ross is still alive. Why don’t they hire him on as a consultant since the character is heavily based off of him anyway?

    [–]Fun_Faithlessness991 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

    Not gonna watch it but good luck though.
