Snowfall: Season 4

March 30, 2017

“Business is booming in season four of Snowfall. It's January 1st, 1985. Ronald Reagan has won his re-election campaign proclaiming it is "morning again in America," but in South Central, Los Angeles, it feels more like the sun is getting low. The demand for crack cocaine is high, and while our crew of dealers led by Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) are benefiting greatly from the rising tide of addiction, they are also starting to become aware of the damage the drug is doing to the people and to the place they love. With the entire nation taking note, the LAPD is diverting serious money and resources to the "war on drugs." Politicians' phones are ringing. Powerful people are concerned from the hallways of The White House to those of CIA headquarters, where there are whispers that one of their own may be involved in this burgeoning epidemic.”

Watch the trailer for season 4 of the FX Original Series Snowfall below. The new season premieres February 24th 10:00 PM EST only on FX. Streaming the next day on FX on Hulu.
