Snowpiercer is an American post-apocalyptic dystopian thriller television series that premiered on May 17, 2020 on TNT. It is based on both the 2013 film of the same name, directed by Bong Joon-ho, and the 1982 French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette, from which the film was adapted.

The series, a reboot of the film's continuity, follows the passengers of the Snowpiercer, a gigantic, perpetually moving train that circles the globe carrying the remnants of humanity seven years after the world becomes a frozen wasteland. The series questions class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival. Jennifer Connelly and Daveed Diggs star alongside Mickey Sumner, Alison Wright, Iddo Goldberg, Susan Park, Katie McGuinness, Sam Otto, Sheila Vand, Mike O'Malley, Annalise Basso, Jaylin Fletcher, Lena Hall and Roberto Urbina. Steven Ogg, Rowan Blanchard and Sean Bean joined the main cast in the second season and both Chelsea Harris and Archie Panjabi joined the main cast in the third season.

While in development at TNT for over three years, the series faced numerous production issues and delays arising from creative differences between the series' producers and the network. The series remained in development hell until May 2019, when it was announced that it would instead air on TNT's sister network TBS in the second quarter of 2020 and that it had already been renewed for a second season. However, in September 2019, the decision to change networks was reversed.

Prior to studio shutdowns that occurred due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, most of the second season's production was completed. The second season premiered on January 25, 2021. In January 2021, the series was renewed for a third season, which premiered on January 24, 2022. ^{[1] [2]} In July 2021, the series was renewed for a fourth season. ^[3] In June 2022, it was announced that the fourth season would be its last. ^[4] In January 2023, it was announced that the fourth season would not air on TNT and was in the process of moving elsewhere. ^[5] In March 2024, it was announced that AMC had picked up the fourth and final season with it set to premiere in 2025. ^[6]

Premise

Snowpiercer is set in 2026, seven years after the world becomes a frozen wasteland due to ecocide, and follows the remnants of humanity who have taken shelter on a perpetually moving luxury train. ^[7] Designed and built by the eccentric billionaire Mr. Wilford, the train consists of 1,001 carriages and circles the globe 2.7 times per year. ^[8] The constant motion of the train provides energy and prevents the passengers from freezing as well. Since the catastrophe, the train's population has become rigidly separated by class, caught up in a revolutionary struggle against the strictly imposed social hierarchy and unbalanced allocation of limited resources. ^[9] The show explores issues of class warfare, social injustice, and the politics of survival. ^[10]

Cast and characters

Main

• Jennifer Connelly as Melanie Cavill: ^[11] The powerful Head of Hospitality (the department responsible for smooth relations) and the Voice of the Train (responsible for making the PA system's daily announcements) aboard Snowpiercer. To the majority of the train, Melanie is believed to be Mr. Wilford's representative relaying his orders to the passengers and crew. It is later revealed that Wilford was not initially aboard the Snowpiercer. Melanie has been facing the crushing burden of directing Snowpiercer on its global journey, managing mounting resource and class issues, having her authority and decisions challenged and maintaining Wilford's iron order throughout the train to preserve the last of humanity. She desperately tries to maintain the myth of Wilford, which is known to only a few other passengers. ^[12] Ultimately the secret is exposed, leading to a coup attempt by wealthy passengers from First Class. This coincides with a revolution by the Tail and Third Class sections, in which Melanie helps out in the end and saves it from certain defeat. After the revolution, Melanie officially hands leadership of the train to Layton and resumes her duties as Head Engineer, but her plans to remain indefinitely in the engine room are threatened by the arrival of Mr. Wilford and the surprise return of her believed-dead daughter Alexandra. In the second season, Melanie departs Snowpiercer to find a place that humanity can recolonize. In the second season finale, Layton and Alex discover that Melanie had sacrificed the last of her power to protect her data before seemingly walking into the Freeze to die. In season three, Melanie appears as a hallucination to both Alex and Wilford. It's eventually discovered that she had actually survived by taking a track scaler from a nearby hangar and using the suspension drug to keep herself in hibernation. After being rescued, she betrays Layton and seizes control of the Engine before agreeing to split the train, with Melanie leading those who want to stay onboard Snowpiercer.
• Daveed Diggs as Andre Layton: A former detective turned leader of the Tail, a group of passengers who boarded Snowpiercer by force without tickets and are treated poorly as a result, often having their food, water, and electricity cut. As the world's only surviving homicide detective, Layton is reluctantly deputized by Melanie as Snowpiercer's Train Detective to help solve a series of murders. ^[13] While investigating the mysterious killings, he gathers intelligence and allies to support a revolution by the Tail and Third Class sections. After First Class has overthrown Melanie, they start to crush Layton's revolution in a series of bloody confrontations. It is saved only after Melanie teams up with Layton in the end. After the revolution's success, she officially hands the leadership of the train to Layton, but his plans to implement a democratic government are threatened by the arrival of Mr. Wilford. At the end of the second season, Layton creates his own pirate train out of the first ten cars of Snowpiercer in order to resist Wilford, taking with him several of his and Melanie's most trusted loyalists. At the end of the third season, Layton takes Big Alice and a number of people to a habitable valley in the Horn of Africa.
• Mickey Sumner as Bess Till: A Brakeman and part of the train's security force, Till was a rookie officer in the Detroit Police Department and witnessed its self-destruction during the Freeze. She is in a romantic relationship with Jinju and later upgrades from Third to Second Class to be with her. ^[14] Tormented by the injustices of the class system, however, she ultimately decides to support Layton's revolution. Because Till is afraid to share what she knows about Layton's moves, while Jinju still wants to keep her knowledge about First Class and Melanie secret, they eventually break up. After Josie, one of Layton's allies, finds him in medically induced suspension, Till helps Josie and Layton escape. She also tries but fails to save Josie from interrogation by Melanie. In season 2, Layton promotes Till to Train Detective in order to solve a series of crimes involving members of the Tail and the Breachmen. It is later revealed that Mr. Wilford was behind them as a way to undermine Layton's credibility and leadership. Till leaves with Layton's pirate train at the end of season 2. After the trains reconnect in season 3, she resumes her role as Train Detective, investigating Pike's attempts to assassinate Layton and forming a romantic relationship with Miss Audrey, who has been Mr. Wilford's love interest. After Big Alice separates from Snowpiercer to embark on its journey to New Eden, Till becomes the new Lead Brakemen aboard Snowpiercer.
• Alison Wright as Ruth Wardell: Melanie's deputy in Hospitality who looks after First Class passengers and delivers demands and punishments to the Tail. Before the Freeze, she ran a bed and breakfast in Kendal and was personally recruited by Mr. Wilford when he stayed there as a guest. ^[15] A friend to Melanie, Ruth feels betrayed after the secret about Mr. Wilford was exposed. She becomes Head of Hospitality and is initially thrilled by Mr. Wilford's return. When questioned by Layton, she insists that her loyalty is to Snowpiercer and its passengers. She subsequently joins Layton's leadership council with Miss Audrey, Roche, Bennett Knox, and others but he is reluctant to trust her. Ruth is inadvertently left behind with Wilford after Layton creates a separate pirate train. In season 3, she becomes the leader of a resistance movement against Wilford on Snowpiercer before resuming her duties as Head of Hospitality after Layton's return. She later chooses to join him in going to New Eden.
• Lena Hall as Miss Audrey: Chanteuse and the lead madam of Snowpiercer's Nightcar, a Third Class den of (mostly) platonic prostitution and spiritual healing. She represents Third Class before the rest of the train and is very vocal about addressing the social differences on Snowpiercer and supports Layton's revolution. In season 2, she struggles with the return of Mr. Wilford; she was once an escort who served Wilford personally for years and still feels drawn to him despite fearing that renewing their relationship would make her life worse. It is later revealed that the two have a sadomasochistic relationship with Miss Audrey being the dominant party. She later defects to Wilford's side, helping him against rival factions. When Layton creates a separate pirate train, she is taken hostage by his crew in order to ensure the safety of Zarah, who was pregnant and stayed behind on Wilford's part of the train. After Snowpiercer was reconnected, Audrey is exiled to Third Class and banned from the Nightcar. She eventually forms a romantic relationship with Till who helps her move past Wilford and begin helping people again. ^[16]
• Iddo Goldberg as Bennett Knox: One of Snowpiercer's engineers, he has inside knowledge of the initial absence of Mr. Wilford onboard and knows the deepest secrets of the train. He is fiercely loyal to Melanie, with whom he is romantically involved. When Mr. Wilford returns, he betrays Melanie as he believes that Snowpiercer would not survive without the supplies onboard Wilford's Big Alice. At the same time, he forges an alliance with Layton to protect the train together in Melanie's absence. He subsequently acts as part of Layton's leadership council. Bennett was in on Melanie's plot to steal Snowpiercer in the first place unlike his colleague Javi, another train engineer, and stressed that they had to depart the station before Wilford boards the train and more people get killed, even though Melanie's daughter had not arrived yet and would miss the train if it leaves. In season two, Bennett joins Layton's pirate train. At the end of season three, Bennett chooses to remain on Snowpiercer with Melanie rather than going to New Eden. ^[17]
• Susan Park as Jinju Seong (season 1): Snowpiercer's agricultural officer from Second Class and a member of the train's elite. She has been in a romantic relationship with Bess and has inside knowledge of Mr. Wilford's initial absence. After the revolution, she and Bess break up. ^[18]
• Katie McGuinness as Josie Wellstead: ^[19] A strong, no-nonsense Tailie, she cares for Miles and other children in the tail, and uses training from her time as a veterinarian before the Freeze to treat the sick or injured. She is Andre's love interest after Zarah's departure from the tail. She has been part of the uprisings in the tail and takes great risks on the behalf of her community. She is later thought to have been frozen to death after trying to kill Melanie who tortured her. In the second season, it is revealed that she has actually survived, albeit severely injured. Receiving treatment from the Headwoods, Wilford's scientists on Big Alice, Josie becomes resistant to extremely cold temperature like Icy Bob and receives a new prosthetic hand. She later uses her new ability to help Layton escape and joins him and others on the pirate train. In the third season, Josie has a brief fling with Bennett Knox. When the time comes to reconnect the pirate train with the rest of Snowpiercer and Big Alice, she uses her new ability to help Layton again. She later decides to join others in going to New Eden.
• Sam Otto as John "Oz" Osweiller: A young Brakeman and Bess's patrol partner as part of the train's security team. He is less scrupulous than Bess in dealing with the passengers. Oz was raised by a single mother who was a prostitute and emotionally distant from him. He references being in pain from "everything", which is also his rationale for taking Kronole, a street drug likely derived from the medication used for the suspension of life. ^[20] During Layton's revolution, Oz abandons his job with the Brakemen. He begins a relationship with LJ and becomes the head of janitorial after the assassination of Terence. In season three, during Audrey's absence, he and LJ run the Night Car together as a bar and eventually get married. However, LJ remains deeply committed to her own machinations in order to rise to the top again, one time even threatening Oz when he appears reluctant to support her. Oz later leaves LJ to join the colonization of New Eden.
• Sheila Vand as Zarah Fahrami: Layton's ex-wife who, unable to adjust to the poverty of the Tail, left to become a bartender in the Nightcar, antagonizing other Tailies and breaking Layton's heart in the process. ^[21] She later becomes pregnant with Layton's child. After the revolution, she tries to build a new life with him. In the second season, she joins Hospitality in an effort to bridge the gap between Layton and Ruth Wardell. When Layton creates a separate pirate train, Zarah decides to remain behind, feeling that she is safer there and that Wilford would not dare to hurt her due to her pregnancy. She allows Wilford's scientists to perform an experimental procedure and augment her baby with resistance to extremely low temperature. In season three, she gives birth to Liana Layton.
• Roberto Urbina as Javier "Javi" de la Torre: ^{[11] [19]} One of Snowpiercer's engineers, he is aware of Mr. Wilford's initial absence from the train and often questions the morality of Melanie's decisions. In addition to keeping the train running, Javi uses computer algorithms and hacked satellites to predict the environment surrounding and ahead of Snowpiercer. During the coup by First Class, Javi sides with the Folgers at first but eventually betrays them and rescues Melanie. Following the aborted coup and the successful Tailie revolution, Javi, Bennett, and Melanie try but fail to prevent Mr. Wilford from taking over Snowpiercer. After Wilford joins his Big Alice with Snowpiercer and takes control of both trains, Melanie departs on a mission to collect atmospheric data and model the re-warming of Earth. During a struggle to brake the trains in time to pick up Melanie as she returns, Javi is mauled by Wilford's dog, Jupiter, and Wilford is able to prevent the trains from stopping. Javi survives but is left traumatized and under Wilford's control. Throughout the third season, Javi battles post-traumatic stress disorder with the help of Sykes. He later joins Layton in going to New Eden.
• Mike O'Malley as Sam Roche: Snowpiercer's lead Brakeman who is a former police officer and Wilford's security officer before the Freeze. As the train's chief law enforcement officer, he tried to maintain the train's order, but ended up respecting and allying with Layton, and ultimately decides to support Layton's revolution. He and his wife, Anne, and one of his three children survived the Freeze. In season 2, he works with Layton and his former subordinate Bess Till to maintain order in the wake of Wilford's return. He is one of Layton's leadership council alongside Ruth Wardell, Miss Audrey and Bennett Knox following Melanie's departure from the train. Near the end of season 2, he is placed in the Drawers on Big Alice along with his family. After Layton's return in season 3, he is rescued by Till and Dr. Pelton, but they discover that Anne had died at some point during their time in the Drawers. Roche subsequently struggles to deal with his grief and anger over Anne's death. Roche and his daughter choose to join the people going to New Eden at the end of the season.
• Annalise Basso as Lilah Jr. "LJ" Folger-Osweiller (season 1–3): The isolated teenage daughter of Lilah and Robert, she lives uptrain with her parents in First Class, surrounded by luxury. Appearing to be quiet and diligent, she is later revealed as a murderous psychopath and sadist, and the mastermind behind the serial murders on Snowpiercer committed by her bodyguard and boyfriend Erik Sotto. She is exposed by Layton, arrested and found guilty in a tribunal, but her acquittal on Melanie's order makes her one of the most hated First Class train passengers. Following the death of both of her parents in the revolution, the orphaned and defenseless LJ is evicted from First Class by Pike, and is now surviving in Third Class with Oz, both of them hated by the train's passengers. LJ reluctantly takes on a janitorial job and bonds with Alex Cavill. She eventually starts dating Oz. In season 3, she and Oz run the Night Car together and continue their relationship. ^[22] In "The Last to Go," the two get married. In "The Original Sinners," after Oz leaves her for New Eden, LJ accidentally chokes to death on her father's glass eye.
• Jaylin Fletcher as Miles (season 1; recurring season 2–present): A Tailie child, whose parents and sister were left behind to die in the Freeze when their refugee group invaded the train, leaving him to be raised primarily by Andre and Josie - the rest of the Tail refer to him as "Miles and Miles" (implying no one is aware of his surname). Whip smart and talented, his brilliant intelligence wins him a coveted apprenticeship that allows him to move up the train to Second Class. He is later fast-track appointed an Engine Apprentice by Melanie. He plays a pivotal role in the revolution, revealing the truth about Melanie's deception to LJ Folger and working with Bennett, Melanie and Layton to kill the Folgers and their army by detaching seven cars from the train. In season 2, Miles is revealed to be working on engineering life systems and dreams of being one of the first people to recolonize the planet. In season 3, he visits with Josie, is revealed to have continued his apprenticeship and suggests the solution for settling the dispute between Layton and Pike.

In season 2, he starts an illicit trade between the two trains which Layton agrees to allow under his supervision. After assassinating Terence on Layton's orders, Pike suffers something of a breakdown out of guilt. In season 3, he assists Ruth Wardell in running the resistance on Snowpiercer in Layton's absence.

Wilford had also manipulated her into hating Melanie, her mother, by convincing her that Melanie "stole" the train and left her behind. Upon their reunification, Alex and her mother slowly began to rekindle their relationship. Alex also starts becoming friendly with LJ Folger despite their differing loyalties. Alex eventually abandons Wilford and joins Layton's pirate train.

• Sean Bean as Joseph Wilford (season 2–present; uncredited season 1): An eccentric billionaire and genius inventor, Mr. Wilford is the powerful creator of Snowpiercer, worshipped as a Messiah-like figure who used his company, Wilford Industries, to refit his luxury liner train, "Wilford's Dreamliner" and its global railway into an ark, Snowpiercer, to save a small population from the Freeze (though in truth Melanie performed the engineering work to do so, and he claimed the credit). Initially believed to be the mysterious and reclusive Head Engineer of the train represented solely by Melanie, it is later revealed that he was not actually aboard Snowpiercer, with Melanie only maintaining the illusion that he was. After the secret was revealed, wealthy passengers from First Class attempted a coup, and the Tail and Third Class began a revolution. In the season 1 finale, after the revolution, Wilford returns in control of a secondary supply train, Big Alice, and docks with Snowpiercer. With his new technology and a master plan, Wilford intends to resume command of both trains and reunite with Audrey, who was his personal escort before the Freeze. ^{[26] [27] [28]}

Season 1 (2020)

"The 72-page Snowpiercer TV pilot script by [Josh Friedman] is the best I've ever read. The feature-length pilot I made from that script may be my best work. The new showrunner has a radically different vision for the show. I am forgoing my option to direct the extreme reshoots." ^[75]

Less than two weeks later, James Hawes joined the series in July as a co-executive producer and a director to oversee the reshoots for the pilot. ^[76] According to Manson, nearly nothing of the original pilot's footage was used outside of one special-effect scene, and this reshooting was the primary cause for the year-long delay in the show's premiere. ^[77] Later that month, Netflix picked up the international distribution rights to stream the series outside of the United States and China. ^[78] In May 2019, it was announced that the series would air on TBS instead of TNT for a spring 2020 release, and that a second season had already been ordered by the network. ^[79] That month, it was also announced that Huanxi Media Group had signed on to broadcast the first two seasons exclusively in China. ^[80] Manson will return as showrunner for the second season. ^{[25] [81]} In September 2019, the decision to change networks was reversed, with the series once again set to air on TNT. ^[82] On January 19, 2021, ahead of the second-season premiere, TNT renewed the series for a third season. ^[1]

On July 29, 2021, TNT renewed the series for a fourth season. ^[3] On March 28, 2022, it was announced that Paul Zbyszewski is taking over as the showrunner and added as an executive producer for the fourth season. ^[83] Following the formation of new parent company Warner Bros. Discovery in April 2022, original scripted content development was cut at TNT and TBS ^[84] and in June, it was announced that the fourth season will be its final season wth it intended to be the final scripted original series to air on TNT. ^[4] On January 13, 2023, it was reported that the final season wouldn't air on TNT, instead, it would be shopped alongside potential prequel and sequel spinoffs. ^[5] On March 14, 2024, it was reported that AMC had acquired the series with it set to air the first three seasons throughout 2024 before premiering the fourth season in early 2025. ^[6]

Writing

The series is designed to be a reboot of the original 2013 film's continuity. The story takes place seven years after a climate catastrophe rendered the outside world uninhabitable, forcing the remnants of humanity to live confined inside of a massive train that constantly circles the globe. The series investigates class struggle, as the passengers of the train are segregated by wealth. ^[85] The series star Daveed Diggs said that the show would "broaden exponentially" the world established by the film and the 1982 graphic novel. "That's one of the advantages of TV, you have time" Diggs said, "so the politics that are hinted at in the film are explored in much more depth and the mechanism of the train [is explored further] — just the little things that create a world, world specificity". ^[86] At the 2017 Television Critics Association press tour, TNT and TBS president Kevin Reilly revealed that the Snowpiercer series would be akin to a "space ship show" due to its contained setting and that it would feature a mystery during the first season. ^[87]

Casting

In May 2017, Daveed Diggs was cast as Andre Layton. ^[13] The following month, Jennifer Connelly and Mickey Sumner landed the other lead roles of Melanie Cavill and Bess Till, respectively. ^{[12] [14]} Casting continued throughout the month of June with Annalise Basso as LJ Folger, Sasha Frolova as Pixi Aariak, Alison Wright as Ruth Wardell, Benjamin Haigh as Fergus McConnell, Roberto Urbina as Javi, and Katie McGuinness as Josie McConnell. ^{[22] [15] [19]} That August, it was announced that Susan Park had joined the main cast as Jinju. ^[18] In September, Lena Hall was cast as Sayori. ^[16] The series order in January 2018 also revealed that Sheila Vand and Sam Otto had been cast in then-undisclosed roles as series regulars. ^[71] Vand was reported to be playing Zarah, while Otto will play John "Oz" Osweiler. ^{[21] [20]} In August 2018, Iddo Goldberg and Jaylin Fletcher were added as series regulars in the roles of Bennett and Miles, respectively. ^{[17] [23]}

Casting for a number of recurring roles were also announced during the month of August, including Steven Ogg as Pike, Timothy V. Murphy as Commander Grey, Happy Anderson as Klimpt, Jonathan Lloyd Walker as Big John, and Aleks Paunovic as Bojan Boscovic. ^{[24] [33] [32]} The following month in September, Shaun Toub and Kerry O'Malley were added to the recurring cast as Terence and Lilah Folger, respectively. ^{[35] [34]} In October 2018, Aaron Glenane was cast as The Last Australian alongside Fiona Vroom as Miss Gillies, both in recurring capacities. ^[31] In March 2019, Rowan Blanchard was cast as Alexandra for a guest role with the option of becoming a series regular should the series be renewed for a second season. ^[88] Blanchard's promotion to the main cast for the second season was confirmed with the series' renewal that May. ^[79] In June 2019, Ogg was also promoted to series regular status for the second season. ^[25] In October 2019, Chelsea Harris was announced in the recurring role of Sykes. ^[89] Later that month, it was also announced that Sean Bean would be a series regular for the second season. ^[26] In November, Tom Lipinski was added to the second season's recurring cast as Kevin. ^[90] In December 2019, Sakina Jaffrey and Damian Young joined the second season's recurring cast as Mrs. and Mr. Headwood, respectively. ^[91] On February 16, 2021, Archie Panjabi was cast as a new series regular for the third season. ^[30] On March 4, 2021, Chelsea Harris was promoted to as a series regular for the third season. ^[29] On March 28, 2022, Clark Gregg and Michael Aronov were cast in undisclosed capacities for the fourth season. ^[83]

Filming

In January 2017, it was reported that filming for the series was scheduled to begin in mid-March of that year. ^[92] By September 25, pilot director Scott Derrickson indicated that production for the series had officially commenced. ^{[93] [94]} Reshoots for the pilot, overseen by new director James Hawes, began on August 20, 2018 in Vancouver, British Columbia and concluded on January 24, 2019. ^{[76] [95]} Principal photography for the second season began on October 21, 2019 in Langley, British Columbia and was originally expected to end on March 20, 2020. ^[96] In March 2020, production was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ^[97] Lena Hall, who portrays Miss Audrey, confirmed in July 2020 that the last block of episodes for season 2—episodes 9 and 10—were being filmed. ^[98] As of March 11, 2021, filming for the third season was in progress until at least July 23, 2021. ^{[99] [100]} Filming for the fourth season began on March 28, 2022 and concluded on August 6, 2022. ^[101]

Design

Despite the series' roots as a graphic novel and film, production designer Barry Robison was told to give the train "its own identity". He conceived the massive locomotive on a "very, very long piece of paper," drawing the entire train in "about three days." His Vancouver design team, headed by Production Designer Stephen Geaghan, then set out to construct around 20 of the 1,001 cars of various sizes over four soundstages, heeding to TNT's orders to not make the train look "too sci-fi". Construction on each of the cars with contrasting classes took less than six weeks and was met with approval from series producer and film director Bong Joon-ho. ^[102]

Release

Broadcast

The series debuted on TNT in the United States in the spring of 2020, ^{[79] [82]} while Netflix began to air the series globally outside of the United States and China. ^[78] Huanxi Media Group is set to broadcast the first two seasons exclusively in China. ^[80]

The series had originally been planned to premiere on May 31, 2020, ^[103] yet was moved up to May 17, 2020 in early April. Brett Weitz, general manager for TNT, stated the earlier premiere was related to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to bring the series to viewers earlier. ^[104] On October 8, 2020, at New York Comic Con, TNT announced the second season was set to premiere on January 25, 2021. ^[105] The third season premiered on January 24, 2022. ^[2]

Marketing

Cast members Connelly, Diggs, Wright, Sumner, Hall, and Ogg attended the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con International along with executive producers Manson, Adelstein, and Clements to promote the series and debut its first official trailer. ^{[106] [107]} As part of the promotion for the upcoming series, insect protein bars mimicking those from the film were made available at the event. ^[108]

Reception

Critical response

The show received mixed to positive reviews. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes collected 82 critic reviews, identified 63% of them as positive, and reported an average rating of 6.5/10 for the first season. The website's critics consensus reads: "Snowpiercer takes a different route with its source material, crafting an ambitious sci-fi mystery with style to spare, but with little of the subversive bite of Bong Joon-ho's theatrical adaptation." ^[109] Metacritic assigned the first season a weighted average score of 55 out of 100, based on 25 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". ^[110]

For the second season, Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 88% based on 16 reviews, with an average rating of 7.1/10. The website's critics consensus states: "Snowpiercer's second season picks up the momentum by dropping narrative baggage without losing its critical reflections on society." ^[111] Metacritic gave the second season a weighted average score of 59 out of 100 based on 5 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews". ^[112]

1	1	"First, the Weather Changed"	James Hawes	Graeme Manson Television story by : Josh Friedman and Graeme Manson	May 17, 2020 (2020-05-17)	1.94 [40]
In an attempt to reverse global warming, chemicals were released into Earth's atmosphere to make the planet cooler. The plan backfires and freezes most of the inhabitable world. Seven years into the Freeze, the last remaining humans live onboard the train Snowpiercer, constructed by a mysterious Mr. Wilford with funding from a small group of elites and hundreds of ticket buyers. Some passengers have forced their way aboard the train without tickets, however. Called "Tailies", they now live in the tail end of the train where constantly deteriorating conditions have prompted them to rebel several times. One Tailie named Andre Layton is called by Melanie Cavill, the public announcer or Voice of the Train, to help solve a murder because Layton used to be a homicide detective. Layton, while trying to negotiate better conditions for his class, is reunited with his ex-wife Zarah who is one of the suspects. After the suicide of a Tailie, the rest of the group revolt but are talked down by Layton who agrees to help solve the murder. He also plans to infiltrate the front of the train to recruit more allies and plan for the next rebellion. At the end of the day, Melanie takes over driving the train and is revealed to be acting in Mr. Wilford's place.
2	2	"Prepare to Brace"	Sam Miller	Donald Joh	May 24, 2020 (2020-05-24)	1.16 [41]
Melanie opens up a cabinet and looks at an old picture of her holding a baby. As she goes on about her day, the train starts shaking because of rough tracks, triggering avalanches. One engineer recommends that throttling back the engine, but because it is also used to generate electricity, slowing down would cause rolling blackouts throughout the train. Melanie does not want to risk exacerbating the already tense situation. Meanwhile, the leaders of the Tailie rebellion are put into stasis, and Ruth oversees a little girl's punishment for her involvement. However, her mother stands up and offers her own arm instead. The enforcers wet her arm and put it through a hole in the train's car to the outside, where the temperature is minus 100 degrees. It freezes instantly and is then smashed by a hammer as punishment. In the Drawer car, Nikki is removed from stasis but has trouble waking up. With the help of Till, Layton begins investigating the latest murder, theorizing that the train's butchers have been cannibalizing the dead and serving them as food to the passengers. As the train passes through a rough set of mountainous tracks, a massive avalanche hits it. Although Snowpiercer survives, the windows of the cattle car were shattered, freezing the last cows on Earth and some of the butchers. The damage and losses led to a series of supply chain shortages and rolling blackouts. Till suggests pinning the murder on the dead butchers, but Layton is convinced that the murder and the cannibalism are two separate crimes. At the same time, he continues to prepare for another rebellion and realizes that the murder victim was an informant for Mr. Wilford. Melanie and others who knew about Mr. Wilford's absence become concerned about what the informant might have revealed under torture before he was killed.
