AMC Picks Up “Snowpiercer” for Season 4
AMC has reportedly picked up the 4th season of the former TNT series “Snowpiercer!” The show’s first three seasons will hit the AMC+ streaming service later this year, with season 4 due to bow in early 2025.
Based on the acclaimed graphic novel and the 2013 film of the same name, “Snowpiercer” has captivated audiences with its gripping storyline, complex characters, and thought-provoking themes. Set aboard a perpetually moving train that circles the globe after a cataclysmic event has frozen the Earth, the show explores issues of class struggle, social injustice, and survival in a harsh, dystopian world.
“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,” showrunner Paul Zbyszewski said.
The series was originally developed for TNN before TNT picked it up. Scott Derrickson, who directed “Doctor Strange” for Marvel Studios and 2021’s hit “The Black Phone,” was set to show run and direct before parting ways with the project. It’s been a bumpy track for the show, based on Bong Joon-ho‘s 2013 film, which was based on the graphic novel “Le Transperceneige” by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand, and Jean-Marc Rochette.
“Snowpiercer” the series stars Jennifer Connelly, Daveed Diggs, Sean Bean, Rowan Blanchard, Alison Wright, Mickey Sumner, Iddo Goldberg, Katie McGuinness, Lena Hall, Sam Otto, Chelsea Harris, Mike O’Malley, Roberto Urbina, and Sheila Vand. New cast members for season 4 include Clark Gregg and Michael Aronov.
“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+,” Ben Davis, EVP of original programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios, said. “We look forward to allowing viewers 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.”
