Snowfall star Damson Idris has spoken on what's to come for his character Franklin Saint in season 5 of the show.
The FX drama kicked off its fifth outing last night (February 23) with a double episode, with the Saint now holding a huge fortune while also on the cusp of fatherhood.
Speaking to GQ, Idris explained that "we're finally seeing the boy turn into a man" in the new episodes.

However, he did tease some chaos to come, adding: "The uncertainty of the demise of his father still lingers on his head, the chess played between himself and Teddy [Carter Hudson] is at its fullest, and there's definitely a huge static and fracture within the families.
"So, I guess it's more of the same mayhem."
Snowfall is set in the 1980s and follows the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles, with a particular focus on drug dealer Saint.

The last time we saw the character in the season 4 finale, he finally did away with the cane that he walked with due to a gunshot wound inflicted upon him by Melody in season 3.
Speaking on the big moment, Idris explained previously: "That Keyser Soze moment was really special. The biggest thing for viewers was, 'When are we going to get back to Franklin being well?'"
He added: "He doesn't need anyone to see him as being vulnerable anymore. He doesn't need to be 10 steps ahead anymore. Now he can just focus on the business. He realises in that moment that he's come full circle. That's why it was special putting down that cane."
Snowfall airs on FX in the US.
