Snowflakes is a twenty-something ensemble comedy following a group of codependent housemates — Billie (Freyer), Samir (Elassal), Anton (Thiele), Issa (Rao) and Paul Baker (Innanen) — trying to be good people, despite being neither “good” nor “people” yet.

Freyer is repped by Gersh and Mj Management; Elassal by UTA and Strig Artist Management; Thiele by UTA, Entertainment 360 and Hansen...

FX is about to enter a new era.
The network is grappling with how to replace a number of its long-running hits including Snowfall, Mayans M.C., What We Do in the Shadows, Reservation Dogs, Archer and Dave.
As such, John Landgraf, chairman of FX Content & FX Productions, is “sweating bullets” as he and his team search for new series to replace these shows.
“There was a time when you had these time slots and something was going in that time slot — it might be good, it might be bad, but it wasn’t going to be a color bar in that time slot,” he told Deadline. “Now if we put things on the air or on streaming that are bad, it tarnishes 20 years of hard work we’ve done to try to create a brand that’s synonymous with quality.”
