Filming has just gotten underway on season four of TNT’s critically acclaimed sci-fi drama Snowpiercer, with Emmy nominee Paul Zbyszewski (Lost, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) tapped as the new showrunner. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s Clark Gregg and Tony Award winner Michael Aronov have joined the cast as production begins in Vancouver.
“We have been blessed with an abundance of riches in building the world of Snowpiercer – from the incredible cast and crew, to the loyal fanbase and the building blocks afforded from the film and graphic novel. Tonight’s finale is the culmination of several storylines, with unexpected twists and turns around every corner, and leading to an exciting fourth season with Paul’s vision and creative storytelling continuing the incredible show momentum,” stated executive producers Graeme Manson and Aubrey Nealon.
“I’m so grateful to everyone at TNT and Tomorrow Studios for letting me join the riveting world of Snowpiercer that Graeme and Aubrey have so beautifully crafted and built. We have an exciting fourth season planned, and I can’t wait to be on set with such an incredible cast and crew as we continue to explore new worlds, create new mysteries, and develop character relationships,” said Zbyszewski.
Season three’s cast is led by Oscar-winner Jennifer Connelly as Melanie, Grammy and Tony Award-winner Daveed Diggs as Layton, and Emmy nominee Alison Wright as Ruth. Sean Bean, Rowan Blanchard, Mickey Sumner, Iddo Goldberg, Katie McGuinness, Tony Award winner and Grammy nominee Lena Hall, Emmy nominee Archie Panjabi, Annalise Basso, Sam Otto, Roberto Urbina, Sheila Vand, Mike O’Malley, Chelsea Harris, and Steven Ogg also star.
“The success of Snowpiercer has always been due to the dedicated, innovative storytellers at the helm, and the incredible talent in front of and behind the camera,” said Sam Linsky and Adrienne O’Riain, co-heads of scripted original programming for TBS, TNT and truTV. “We’re so excited for what Paul has in store for next season and we are thrilled to welcome our new cast members.”
In addition to Paul Zbyszewski, season four’s executive producers include Christoph Schrewe, Matthew O’Connor, Ben Rosenblatt, Scott Derrickson, and Tomorrow Studios’ Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements. The original film’s producers Bong Joon Ho, Miky Lee, Jinnie Choi, Park Chan-wook, Lee Tae-hun, and Dooho Choi are involved as executive producers.
Season three will wrap up with episode 10 airing on March 28, 2022 at 9pm ET/PT on TNT.
Season 3 Finale’s Plot:
In episode nine of season three, Layton (Diggs), Ben (Goldberg), Josie (McGuinness), Alex (Blanchard) and Javi (Urbina) band together to rescue Melanie (Connelly). Relieved to find her alive, she is brought back on board the train safely, resulting in a blowout party on the train. The celebration is short-lived however when Melanie exposes Layton for misleading the passengers by offering hope of finding a viable existence in New Eden.
It all comes to a head as old adversaries clash, with New Eden hanging in the balance in episode 10, “The Original Sinners.”
