In the final season of Snowfall, a significant threat looms over the Saint family. It remains to be seen whether Franklin can withstand government pressure and keep his narcotics business running. The official trailer for the upcoming season is available here:

According to the official description of the upcoming snowfall season,
“In the sixth and final season of FX’s Snowfall, a civil war threatens to destroy the Saint family.”
It continues,
“Franklin (Damson Idris) is faced with losing everyone he loves and all he’s created, and getting through it will entail out-maneuvering the KGB, the DEA, and the CIA, as well as dodging the LAPD’s corrupt C.R.A.S.H units. “Who will they become to survive when their backs are against the wall?”
Series co-creator and executive producer Dave Andron described the show’s final season as “surprising and emotional” in an interview with TVLine. He also spoke about Damson Idris’ performance as Franklin Saint, saying:
“He has to live. There’s always a risk in what he’s doing, but he needs to go after the CIA and Teddy to get his money back. The stakes are enormous. He is expecting a child. He’s all in, and we’ll have to figure out who he is and what he’s willing to do in order to find out.”
He continues, ”
“I believe we ended up telling the story in a truly unexpected and inevitable way. It’s extremely emotional, and I believe it’s extremely rewarding, which is exactly what he would have desired. I believe he’d be pleased with where we ended up.”
