SNOWPIERCER Moves to TBS, Gets Early Season 2 Renewal

The long-gestating SNOWPIERCER drama has a new home (TBS; it was originally set up at TNT) and a tentative premiere time: Spring 2020.

Additionally, TBS has ordered an early second season for the series (which is an adaptation of the film by the same name), which will go into pre-production in June.

“SNOWPIERCER is the perfect show to kick-off TBS’ entry into dramas with intricate storytelling, stunning visuals and first-class acting,” said Brett Weitz, general manager for TBS and TNT, in a statement. “We believe in the longevity of this series and that audiences will be amazed by the fantastical world that brings to life such relevant social, political and environmental issues.”

Per TBS, “Set more than seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, SNOWPIERCER centers on the remnants of humanity, who inhabit a gigantic, perpetually-moving train that circles the globe. Class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival play out in this riveting television adaptation.” The series stars Jennifer Connelly, Daveed Diggs, Alison Wright, Mickey Sumner, Susan Park, Iddo Goldberg, Katie McGuinness, Lena Hall, Annalise Basso, Sam Otto, Roberto Urbina, Sheila Vand, and Jaylin Fletcher.
