I think we feel pretty comfortable telling the story that he wanted to tell. 'At this point, having had four years with him thinking about the show, talking about the show, knowing the place in his heart that it came from. 'Nothing too drastic will change,' Andron told The Wrap while discussing what would happen to the show without Singleton. The final and most diabolical step on Franklin’s revenge list was stopping by the hospital to personally tell Kane that Louie was the one who had ordered the hit on him. Season 4 of Snowfall was originally supposed to come out in 2020 (via Deadline) before it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and production was shut down temporarily, much like what happened. His co-creators Eric Amadio and Dave Andron will continue with the show, with Andron as the showrunner. He had suffered a stroke, as reported by The New York Times. News of the show's renewal arrived several months after the death of co-creator John Singleton in April 2019.

'We are grateful to Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Michael London, Trevor Engelson, and Walter Mosley for honoring John's legacy through their commitment to building on the artistic excellence of Snowfall with a fourth season on FX.' 'Snowfall has continued its creative leap forward this season with the hard work and contributions of John Singleton and the brilliant performance of Damson Idris,' Grad said. Nick Grad, the president of original programming at FX, shared a statement about the show with The Hollywood Reporter. You won't find yourself stuck on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved. But at least new episodes are a guarantee you can go into the Snowfall Season 3 finale with the knowledge that more is forthcoming, eventually. The ordeal would leave Franklin walking with a limp and a cane for the majority of the fourth season. That's a little under a year away, making for a lengthy wait. Fans of the FX period crime drama Snowfall surely remember the shocking moment in the third season when drug dealer Franklin Saint ( Damson Idris ) was shot and left for dead by his on/off girlfriend Melody (Reign Edwards). If the same remains true of Season 4, then fans can probably expect it in July 2020. Snowfall has stuck to roughly the same schedule for the past three years: each season premieres in July and concludes in September. But looking at past premieres could give viewers some idea of when to expect new episodes.

Season 4 is set to premiere in 2020, though an exact date has yet to be released. The renewal news was announced in early August, per Variety, at the Television Critics Association summer press tour. The good news is, Snowfall will return for Season 4, so the show will have enough time to explore the fallout from whatever Franklin decides. The episode summary indicates that Franklin (Damson Idris) will walk 'a different path' than the one he's been on so far, but it's not clear exactly what that means. The third season of Snowfall finishes up on FX with 'Other Lives,' a finale that promises lasting change in South Central. Either way, a wounded and vulnerable Franklin Saint (Damson Idris), who pimp limped through Season 4, hung up his cane and his pain in Wednesday’s Season 4 finale and said goodbye to Melody and all.
