Less than a year after Snowpiercer Season 1 has ended with a great twist, the hit series is making its way back to our screens for another season. Snowpiercer Season 2 episode 1 release date is most certainly a hot topic among clamoring fans waiting for the new season. There will be some high-profile talent that is set to join the cast of the series.

The post-apocalyptic science fiction series was inspired by Bong Joon-ho's 2013 film with the same name, as well as the French graphic novel, Le Transperceneige which was the basis of the film. It was only minimally affected by the shutdowns caused by the pandemic, with Snowpiercer season 2 before the restrictions come into play,

Fans are now looking forward to a very action-packed second season very shortly. If the second season's trailer would be any basis, it looks the series will take up more plot points for the second installment.
