Snowpiercer Season 3

On Wednesday, TNT has announced that Snowpiercer Season 3 is set to premiere on Monday, January 24, 2022. Season 3 will be released just a year after the second season, picking up right where it left off. Snowpiercer Season 1 focused on a revolt on the train led by Layton (played by Daveed Diggs), and the second season focused on his conflict with the creator of the perpetual train, Mr. Wilford (Sean Bean). Season 3 is expected to begin with Layton commanding a "pirate train" in a mission to find Melanie and a potential new place where the survivors could live safely.

Last May, Snowpiercer debuted as the #1 new cable entertainment program with 3.3 million viewers across both TBS and TNT, making it the top new cable series in 2020.

Snowpiercer Season 2 also stars Jennifer Connelly, Sean Bean, Rowan Blanchard, Mickey Summer, Alison Wright, Iddo Goldberg, Katie McGuinness, Annalise Basso, Lena Hall, Sam Otto, Roberto Urbina, Sheila Vand, and Steven Ogg. A new cast member for Season 3 was already confirmed: Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife) will be joining as a new series regular, Deadline reported. The Emmy winner will play Asha, but further character details are still being kept under wraps.
