Undeniably, 2022 packed several surprises for Snowpiercer fans. Notably, the series’ fourth season went into production during the early months. However, by mid-2022, TNT confirmed with a heavy heart that this would be the show’s last season. The announcement game shortly after WarnerMedia, the owners of TNT, merged with Discovery Inc to become Warner Bros. Discovery. Since then, changes within the industry have been drastic, with many films being dumped for tax purposes, sweeping content purges, and unexpected adjustments in streaming services.
Key Takeaways:
– Snowpiercer’s final season, Season 4, started its production in early 2022.
– Warner Bros. Discovery chose not to air this final season on TNT after their merger took place.
– AMC has now acquired the rights to air the awaited Season 4.
Season 4 Not To Air on TNT
The most significant shocker arrived in the first month of 2023. Warner Bros. Discovery stated that it wouldn’t air Snowpiercer’s Season 4 on TNT. This situation left the critically acclaimed series homeless, striving to find a new broadcasting platform. Joy finally flooded the hearts of the long-waiting fans today, as Deadline reported that the show finally found its new home…AMC.
Furthermore, Deadline shared further insights, “The first three seasons of the show will stream on AMC+ later this year. Season 4, on the other hand, will air on the linear network and the streaming service in early 2025.”, not forgetting to mention that Snowpiercer is a product of the creative minds at Tomorrow Studios.
Excitement Building Up at AMC
Ben Davis, the Executive Vice President (EVP) of Original Programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios, expressed the company’s excitement. “Snowpiercer is an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride with a loyal fanbase – similar to the passionate fandoms we serve across our biggest franchise series,” Davis gleefully said before labeling the new addition as a welcome one. He further promised the eager fans to be ready for a binge-watch of the first three seasons later this year in anticipation for the fourth season. The fourth season is under the skillful direction of Paul Zbyszewski and will premiere in 2025.
Discover Snowpiercer’s World
Based on the 2013 film by director Bong Joon-ho and graphic novel source material, Snowpiercer depicts a chilling yet intriguing plot.

As it circles the globe, the survival politics, social injustices, and class warfare the passengers face, expertly brushed on the canvas, are likely to chill your spine and ignite your imagination.

Paul Zbyszewski, along with Christoph Schrewe, Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements from Tomorrow Studios, Matthew O’Connor, Ben Rosenblatt, and Scott Derrickson, executive produced Season 4. Together with the film’s original producers – Bong Joon Ho, Miky Lee, Jinnie Choi, Park Chan-wook, Lee Tae-hun and Dooho Choi – they worked together to make this season a reality.
