FX had its upfronts ages ago. Obviously unwilling to be left out of all of this week’s fun, though, it’s just released a trailer for its new drama Snowfall, which airs in July. Created by John Singleton (Boyz n the Hood), Snowfall‘s set in Los Angeles in 1983 and focuses on the city’s first crack epidemic and the impact on the city’s culture.
It’s the end of Upfronts week proper and although it’s been an untraditional time, we end traditionally with The CW. Home to no fewer than four superhero shows and programming aimed at young women, don’t be too surprised that the network’s doubling down on those viewers.

CBS All Access is a slight oddity, being a network in its own right making its own exclusive programming yet still being an adjunct of an existing broadcast network, CBS. So it doesn’t get a separate upfronts presentation from CBS proper, yet does have its own programmes – but is too small to do much better than TNT and other smaller networks.
Which is basically my way of saying I’ll do CBS programmes in a bit but you can have this shiny trailer for CBS All Access’s one new, but highly anticipated programme. International viewers (including the UK) will be able to watch it on Netflix.
