Malcolm Spellman reveals the planned trajectory of The Drop
The creator describes season 1 as a taste of a family saga at the heart of a ruthless music industry.
The first season of The Drop ends with the death of Keith, a close friend of Artillery and Dara, whom the label executives exploit to create buzz. The label speeds up the release of Artillery’s and Lamar’s album, turning it into a compilation by inserting other artists. Wanda, Lamar and Artillery finish the episode by reclaiming control of their destiny.
According to showrunner Malcolm Spellman, this is "just the beginning" of a series where the central family gets involved in a musical world that does not prioritize artists' interests. He envisions several seasons, each episode deepening the struggle between ambition and family loyalty.
