The second season of Snowpiercer won't debut until next week, but Variety has reported that TNT has already renewed the series for a third season, which means that we've got more frozen wasteland, train action headed our way.
The second season of Snowpiercer will pick up after the events of the season one finale, with the survivors of the revolution trying to pick up the pieces and maintain a fragile peace amongst the now merged classes with Layton (Daveed Diggs) emerging as the train’s leader. "Discovering Mr. Wilford (Sean Bean) is alive and headed their way on a rival train, Melanie (Jennifer Connelly) risks going outside to prevent him from invading Snowpiercer," reads the official synopsis. "While she’s out there, it’s revealed that Alexandra (Rowan Blanchard), Melanie’s daughter, who she thought had died, is alive and has become Wilford’s dedicated protegee. In season two, an entirely new power struggle emerges, causing a dangerous rift as people are divided between their loyalty to Layton and to Mr. Wilford, who has a new train, new technology and a game plan that keeps everyone guessing. While Layton battles Wilford for the soul of Snowpiercer, Melanie leads the charge on a shocking new discovery that could change the fate of humanity." Although I'm huge fan of Bong Joon-ho's feature-film adaptation of Snowpiercer, I haven't had the chance to check out TNT's series yet, but with the new season featuring the great Sean Bean as Mr. Wilford, I might just have to make the time.
The second season of Snowpiercer will debut on TNT on January 25th.
