The post-apocalyptic story of the train circling the globe in the frozen world returns as a series on the TNT platform.
It has just been announced that the Snowpiercer series will be released in spring 2020 on the TNT platform. Earlier this year, there was talk of a transfer to the TBS channel, but the head of HBO Max, TNT, TBS and truTV Kevin Reilly announced that after testing where the show would be best received, it was decided to go to TNT.
While we are still adding dramas to TBS (such as Obliterated ), after further research and consideration, we decided to keep Snowpiercer on TNT. Now that we’ve seen this amazing post-apocalyptic sci-fi series in its entirety, we have a better understanding of the audience that will enjoy this show. We are convinced that it will be best presented at TNT.
The story of the series will be based on the South Korean-Czech film Snowpiercer: The Ark of the Future from 2013 and the French novels Le Transperceneige from 1982, on which the film was also based. It will present the fate of the only surviving people in the post-apocalyptic frozen world who live in a speeding train.
The cast includes actors such as: Jennifer Connelly ( A Beautiful Mind, Requiem for a Dream ), Daveed Diggs ( Miracle Boy , The Blind ), Mickey Sumner ( Barry Seal: The Smuggling King ), Susan Park ( Fargo ).
