Snowpiercer is already confirmed to return for Season 4 on TNT. After three seasons of intense action and dystopian conflicts, the post-apocalyptic sci-fi series based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige is set to return for its fourth and final season.
The original graphic novel by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette, was also adapted into a movie in 2013, which starred Chris Evans. The film was directed by Parasite director Bong Joon-ho, who has also been executive producer on the Snowpiercer TV series. The TNT series gives us a more expansive version of its story, and it will finally wrap up in Season 4.
If you're wondering about the latest details we know about the final season, everything you need to know about Snowpiercer Season 4:
Snowpiercer Season 4 Release Date
Snowpiercer Season 3 premiered on January 24, 2022 on TNT, and January 25 on Netflix (outside of US), which is about a year after Season 2 was released.
TNT hasn't announced an official release date for Snowpiercer Season 4 yet, but it should have a similar timeframe. Production for Season 4 started on March 28, 2022, but on July 29, it was reported that production was suspended due to extreme heat.
A spokesperson from TNT said: "Out of an abundance of caution, production of Snowpiercer wrapped early yesterday and was suspended for today due to extreme heat on location. The health and well-being of show cast and crew remains top priority."
TNT and the crew of the show are working on solutions to the heat probelms, with the spokesperson saying that cooling tents for the cast and crew are being provided, while there will be an increased presence of medical personnel on set. They were also informed to be aware of how the heat is affecting them, and let the medical personnel know immediately about any concerns.
With that being said, it's likely that TNT's planned release date for the final season of Snowpiercer will be affected much.
Is there a trailer for Snowpiercer Season 4?

Is Snowpiercer Season 4 the final season?
Yes, Snowpiercer Season 4 will be the final season. TNT already confirmed that Season 4 will wrap up the story. Speaking to Deadline, a TNT spokesperson said: "We can confirm that Snowpiercer will end after a successful, multi-season run on TNT."
Considering where the story is going after Season 3, it just makes sense that Season 4 will be the final season.
Snowpiercer Season 4 Plot & Recap: What will happen in the final season?
Season 3 concluded with Wilford (Sean Bean) kicked-off the united train and traveling across the globe in a track scaler, a small autonomous vehicle.
Thanks to the work of Layton (Daveed Diggs) and Melanie (Jennifer Connelly), the civil war on the Snowpiercer train has been averted, and the dilemma of what to do about the prospect of finding New Eden - an area of the globe where temperatures might be high enough to sustain life outdoors - is resolved by splitting the train.
This leads to Layon on a one-way mission, leading a group to the Horn of Africa where data suggests there could be higher temperatures, while Melanie circulates around the globe.
Season 3 concluded with Layton leaving the train in meltin conditions - New Eden was real - with a flash-forward to 3-months later where Melanie sees an explosion and rising smoke, only to realize in the closing scene that it's a missile strike.
This sets up the final season of Snowpiercer well while leaving us with unanswered questions. New Eden has been found, and it's likely that the story will focus more on this, but it's still unclear if getting there would be easy. The missile suggests that there will be some kind of battle for this "paradise".
The villainous Wilford is still out there, and he could be behind the missile launch, but the arrival of Melanie will likely lead to the reuniting of Snowpiercer's people to overcome the final obstacle.
