SNOWPIERCER Season 4 Will Be Released Thanks to AMC
AMC has acquired the exclusive U.S. linear and streaming rights to all four seasons of the TNT series Snowpiercer. The post-apocalyptic drama was canceled by TNT with an announcement that the fourth season would be its last. After that, TNT’s parent company Warner Bros. Discovery made the decision not to air Season 4 altogether as a way to help cut costs.
But, thanks to AMC, fans of the series will get to watch Season 4! The first three seasons of Snowpiercer will be available to stream on AMC+ later this year, while Season 4 will premiere on AMC and AMC+ in early 2025.
Ben Davis, executive vice president of original programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios said in a statement: “Snowpiercer is an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride with a loyal fanbase – similar to the passionate fandoms we serve across our biggest franchise series – and a welcome addition to AMC and AMC+. We look forward to giving viewers an opportunity to binge the first three seasons later this year, in anticipation of the arrival of a remarkable fourth season helmed by Paul Zbyszewski and this stellar cast, which will premiere in 2025.”
Showrunner Paul Zbyszewski added: “We’re so thrilled the train has finally found a home, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone at AMC and Tomorrow Studios for giving the fans of Snowpiercer a chance to enjoy season four with all the hard work this amazing cast and crew put into it.”
Snowpiercer is based on the 2013 film of the same name which was itself based on a graphic novel by Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette.
The story is set “more than seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, Snowpiercer centers on the remnants of humanity, who inhabit a perpetually-moving train that circles the globe. Class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival play out in this riveting television adaptation based on the acclaimed movie and graphic novel series of the same name.”
In Season 2, “Mr. Wilford, the creator of Snowpiercer, emerges in season two, ready to take back the train that was stolen from him, creating a new power struggle. This causes a dangerous rift as passengers are divided between their loyalty to the revolutionary Layton and to Mr. Wilford, who has a new train, new technology and a game plan that keeps everyone guessing. While Layton battles Wilford for the soul of Snowpiercer, Melanie (Jennifer Connelly) leads the charge on a shocking new discovery that could change the fate of humanity.”
In Season 3: “At the end of Snowpiercer season two, Layton and Ruth , who were banished to Big Alice’s compost car, plotted to take back Snowpiercer. With the help of Javier (Roberto Urbina) and Alexandra (Rowan Blanchard), Layton and Ruth made it back to Snowpiercer and rallied with their supporters. Josie destroyed the Aquarium car, separating Snowpiercer’s head from the remaining 1,023 cars. Season three picks up with Layton (Diggs) and his inner circle commanding a small 10 car “pirate train” in search of Melanie and a possible warm location to restart civilization; while back on Snowpiercer, Mr. Wilford is consolidating power, awaiting Layton’s return.”
The cast for the series includes Daveed Diggs, Jennifer Connelly, Sean Bean, Rowan Blanchard, Alison Wright, Mickey Summer, Iddo Goldberg, Katie McGuinness, Lena Hall, Annalise Basso, Sam Otto, Roberto Urbina, Sheila Vand, Archie Panjabi, Clark Gregg, and Steven Ogg.
