## Key points

- The finale’s label betrayal is a preview of future conflict.
- Spellman has a direction for seasons two and three.
- FX has not yet renewed the series.

## Summary

The first season of FX’s *The Drop* ends with Wanda, Lamar and Artillery appearing to regain control after record executives exploit a friend’s murder for publicity and alter their album into a compilation. Showrunner Malcolm Spellman says this conflict is only beginning: the music industry’s influence and its effects on the characters will become central to the story.

Spellman has outlined a gradual direction for seasons two and three, though FX has not renewed the series and he says he has not heard about its prospects. He wants to explore how record labels, money and gang culture shaped hip-hop, and how those pressures affect the family at the centre of the show. The first season introduces the characters and the era; Spellman says the labels will retain significant leverage even when Wanda and Lamar seem to be acting independently.
