‘The Drop’ Trailer Sees ‘Snowfall’ Characters Go After “New Gold Rush” of West Coast Rap

After getting clean, Gail Bean’s Snowfall character Wanda Bell has her sights set on the music business.

In the trailer for Snowfall spinoff, The Drop , set to premiere on Tuesday Sept. 8 on FX and Hulu , Wanda is shown proclaiming that West Coast rap “is the new gold rush; no cops, no murder”

She then goes to her cousin Lamar (Asante Blackk) and asks him to make a beat for her as the two of them try to attract volatile local rapper Artillery (Simmie “Buddy” Sims III).

And, via voiceover, as the tapes start piling up, she explains how what she witnessed with Leon and Franklin ( Snowfall star Damson Idris) building their crack empire, gave her a “front-row seat to how they changed the game. We know our customers because they are our customers.”

As the trailer goes on, the tensions on the streets ratchet up as family members disapprove of Lamar getting involved with the rap game and Wanda’s threatened more than once.

Here’s the synopsis for the new series, set in ’90s Los Angeles, which Snowfall jumped ahead to in its 2023 series finale , with Leon telling Franklin that Wanda was trying to make it in music.
