![]() And then it’s pretty early in the finale when he learns that his money is gone. The penultimate episode ends in somewhat of a triumphant way for Franklin, where he’s walked away, he’s made all of this money. We’ve been building Louie’s arc for a long, long time, and it feels very gratifying to me to watch it play out. She had the ambition down in her from the first time we ever saw her. That again was one of those things where if we were going to get Louie to the point where she was going to break away from Franklin, we really needed to spend the time with her and earn it, because it is a big move and if you were watching it suddenly, you’d be like, “What, she’s acting crazy?” But I think it’s the most earned thing on the show. For me, that just triggers, in my mind, all of the things from her that made her feel like this worthless girl from the bayou and she couldn’t have that anymore. For me, this season, in early episodes when she wants to be able to talk to Teddy about the pricing, she’s out there doing all of the legwork and putting herself at risk and Franklin doesn’t understand the things that she’s doing and won’t even let her talk to Teddy. And she’s been through so many traumatic things, the most probably prominent of those having been shot last season and what that did to her mindset where she has decided that if she is going to be putting her life on the line, she wants to be making the decisions that put her in that position. ![]() And Franklin for whatever reason was never going to be able to treat her as an equal. at a very young age who was exploited and taken advantage of and found safety in Jerome and was this sort of big fish in a small pond and to watch her grow confidence in herself, even early on, just wanting her to be treated by Jerome like an equal partner in their relationship and to see them really struggle to get over that hump, and then once she had established that footing, it felt to me like it was only a matter of time before she wanted the same things as Franklin. Knowing that she was going to go from this girl who was from the bayou in Louisiana who came to L.A. One of the arcs from the very beginning of the show that was the most interesting to me was Louie’s. When did you figure that she and Jerome (Amin Joseph) would be the ones to break away from the family like that? It’s been interesting to watch Louie grow into this businesswoman. One of the key moments that affects the family, at least toward the end, is Louie deciding to make that deal with Teddy. We wanted to have an endgame in mind, so we sat down and had some creative conversations with some folks on our side, and we decided six seasons would do it and was what we needed to finish telling the story, and FX as usual was supportive, so we’ve known for a little while. Last spring or winter when I went in to pitch FX, before last season, I pitched five and six. When did you know that the sixth season would be the last one? He also breaks down the significance of the two hit songs featured prominently in the episode, including why that “In the Air Tonight”-soundtracked sequence could have sounded very different. ![]() Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Andron opens up about crafting the show’s endgame and Louie’s rise as well as why Franklin didn’t expect to get robbed and how the low point he reaches at the end of the episode leads to something potentially helpful. Snowfall’s upcoming sixth and final season, announced earlier this month, will be much “heavier” than what’s come before, Andron says, with a tone that’s more consistent with that of the past two episodes. “So we took our time and spent more time on character this season than we have in some seasons’ past and really tried to make sure that we had set up the relationships the proper way and earned the things we needed to earn to bring everybody to a crisis point to take us down the final stretch.” “I knew that season five was going to be about the destruction of the family unit and that that was an important thing to really take some time and to earn to watch the family split up, and it just felt like to rush that in any way would have started to feel really inorganic and not the way we wanted to play that out,” Andron explains of his approach. Gina Balian, Nick Grad Promoted to FX Entertainment Presidentsįor showrunner Dave Andron, who wrote the finale and the penultimate episode, this past season is just the first part of a two-season endgame he pitched to FX last year. ![]()
