Snowfall

Snowfall star Damson Idris has spoken on what's to come for his character Franklin Saint in season 5 of the show. The FX drama kicked off its fifth outing ...

Speaking on the big moment, Idris explained previously: "That Keyser Soze moment was really special. He doesn't need to be 10 steps ahead anymore. He added: "He doesn't need anyone to see him as being vulnerable anymore.

Season 5 of FX's hit drug drama 'Snowfall' has given protagonist Franklin a lot more to lose, including his pregnant girlfriend Veronique.

They both have a sense of pride and wisdom that Franklin is drawn to and both women know a lot about real estate.” “Veronique is 26 and he’s 24, so that’s a new dynamic for Franklin, too,” Idris surmises. She’s the reason why he’s going in the direction he’s going in and striving to get out of the game and build his real estate business. “As a fan of the show, I hate knowing stuff early and I tried to hold it off for as long as possible. “Veronique brings something new out of Franklin and this season, we get to see Franklin truly happy. We get to see him do that this season.”

The premiere episodes of FX's crime drama makes it clear that last season's drug game is not this season's drug game. A recap of “Comet” and “Commitment,” ...

In a scene reminiscent of the “ look at the flowers” moment in The Walking Dead, Franklin urges Rob to look up at the sky to see Halley’s comet ( which last appeared in 1986) before he shoots him. As a statewide search for the young murderer ensues, Peaches and Franklin set out looking for Thad and pick up Rob to aid in the manhunt. After having his identity revealed by Alton, Teddy walks away from the agency only to be promptly replaced, leaving behind Franklin and Gustavo to interface with a new supplier. Franklin has had a difficult time communicating with his mom internationally, so he may not know the situation just yet. As the market has become oversaturated, the need to stay competitive has intensified. The infamous “Family” man has even begun to build a family of his own thanks to a new addition to the cast(!): his current boo, Veronique, a charismatic woman with a law degree who runs the real-estate operations for Franklin’s company and is revealed to be pregnant with their first child. In the end, after Rob smokes from a crack pipe during Thad’s burial, Franklin decides to kill his old friend, who has become a liability. In the first two episodes of the season, “Comet” and “Commitment,” we see how the show’s most beloved (and loathed) characters have been holding up under these circumstances and across a varied spectrum of allegiances to the state and one another. As for the state of the most stable couple on the show, Aunt Louie and Jerome, things seem to be going strong. What we know about her so far is promising: She’s a planner (Veronique has meticulously organized their lives in preparation for the baby, even color-coding their calendar!), and she’s got a strong sense of self. Speaking of family: In the premiere we also reconnect with Wanda, Leon’s ex, who finally got clean after being shot and hospitalized in season four. One of the bunch is identified to be none other than Len Bias — the first-team All-American college-basketball player who the Boston Celtics selected as the second overall NBA draft pick in 1986.

The crime drama about people caught up in the '80s crack epidemic in Los Angeles is FX's most-watched show, and saw its ratings jump 80 percent last season.

Law enforcement is on a warpath and the militarization of the L.A.P.D. continues as police and politicians decide the only way to deal with this growing scourge is through force — and the creation of the new C.R.A.S.H. (Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums) units. Franklin Saint (played by breakout star, the London-born Damson Idris) and his family are “rich beyond their wildest dreams, on the verge of having everything they’ve ever wanted…right as the ground begins to fall out from under their feet.” The new season touches on a real-life tragedy, the sudden death of basketball star Len Bias. The young athlete’s passing, as the show website says, “makes the rock cocaine epidemic front-page news, the target of both Democrat and Republican lawmakers. But now, with Season 5 premiering Wednesday on FX, “Snowfall” has turned into the cable channel’s most-watched series. As John Landgraf, chairman of FX, recently told journalists during the virtual Television Critics Association press tour, “Snowfall” averages “about nine million viewers per episode. And the best-known name associated with the show was co-creator John Singleton, the Oscar-nominated writer and director.

FX's hit series will make its much-anticipated return to FX on Wednesday, Feb. 23. Here's how to watch 'Snowfall' Season 5 and everything else to know.

So I think we’re going to see a joyful side to Franklin this year, but you know, all great things and happy things must come to an end.” It’s a huge sea change moment for the neighborhood,” he continued. Co-creator Dave Andron spoke about what to expect in an interview with Gold Derby. The series left off in 1985, with Franklin successfully ending the war with Manboy and Skully. However, it’s not picking up from that point. “He’s been beat up, shot, robbed, been to jail. The TV show features Damson Idris as Franklin Saint, a college dropout who begins selling drugs to make a way for his family, eventually becoming a major player in the crack-cocaine trade. The episode will also be released on Hulu the following day.

Does Franklin Saint die in the FX series 'Snowfall'? He experiences his first brush with death after being shot multiple times. Does he survive?

She wants her former flame to look her in the eye and admit he killed Andre. If he does that, Melody will leave him be. As for Franklin, he may be alive for now, but how long will he have until his luck runs out? Damson noted in an interview with the New York Post that he felt like Franklin shot Andre purely to survive. However, Franklin survived, and continued to build his thriving crack cocaine empire in Season 4. Ironically, Franklin found himself shot multiple times in the Season 3 finale by none other than his off-and-on girlfriend, Melody Wright (Reign Edwards). Why did Melody shoot Franklin? Does he survive? He had been faking his limp all along.
