The network has given the series an order for a second season prior to its first season debut.

The cast of season one includes Jennifer Connelly, Daveed Diggs, Alison Wright, Mickey Sumner, Lena Hall, and Steven Ogg. They’ll be joining the series’ showrunner/executive producer Graeme Manson for the show’s first panel at SDCC. The Snowpiercer talent will be taking the stage on Saturday, July 20, 2019 at 3pm PT in the Indigo Ballroom at the Hilton Bayfront next to the San Diego Convention Center for a Q&A with attendees and an exclusive first look at the first episode.
