FX announced Friday that it has handed out a 10-episode series order to Snowfall, with the series set to debut in 2017. The pickup comes nearly a year and a half the cable network picked up the drama to pilot. In that time, FX redeveloped the drama with the script undergoing rewrites that included some recastings on the pilot. The original was co-written by The Boyz n the Hood's Singleton and Eric Amadio. The new pilot was penned by Singleton, Amadio and Dave Andron, who boarded the project and will serve as showrunner. Singleton directed the original pilot, with the new version that ultimately led to the series order helmed by Belgian duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah
