All aboard for one final time, as Snowpiercer was initially alleged to return for a fourth and closing season in 2023 however with the present now canceled at TNT, will Netflix nonetheless be carrying it because it does completely with seasons 1 to three?
Based on the 2013 film by Bong Joon-ho and the 1982 French graphic novel, Snowpiercer follows the resident of a prepare that perpetually travels across the globe. The sequence stars Jennifer Connelly, Daveed Diggs, Mickey Sumner, Sean Bean, and Alison Wright and commenced airing on TNT in 2020.
In case you didn’t know, since season 1, Netflix has carried Snowpiercer internationally as a Netflix Original. Better but, each season up to now has seen weekly episodes drop onto the service.
Now, the present was initially renewed for a fourth and closing season. That fourth season started filming in late March 2022 and wrapped up in August 2022.
It was then in January 2023 we acquired the bombshell information that season 4 was not going to be airing on TNT however that Tomorrow Studios, the manufacturing firm behind the present, was seeking to store it elsewhere.
The motive behind the cancelation was a combination of causes, however primarily as a result of Warner Bros. Discovery had been slowly shifting its scripted sequence off of TNT and even canceling them outright, and it seems Snowpiercer fell within the latter camp. It additionally got here at a time when Warner Bros Discovery was canceling quite a few tasks and pulling others from its streaming platforms.
The present was even dropped from HBO Max and is presently not out there to stream within the United States.
Another high-profile TNT present, Obliterated by the creators of Cobra Kai, moved to Netflix and is scheduled to launch in 2023.
The underlying rights to the sequence have been picked up by Tomorrow Studios, however it’s been unclear how their efforts to discover a new house have gone now a few months later.
Tomorrow Studios’ Marty Adelstein, CEO/Partner, and Becky Clements, President/Partner, instructed Deadline, “We love Snowpiercer and believe season four completes a story with incredible talent that will entertain viewers while exploring issues of climate change and class warfare. We are so passionate about this series that we have acquired the rights to control the franchise,”
Will Snowpiercer season 4 head to Netflix?
As it stands, no.
Our understanding is that Netflix is just not obligated to hold the present’s fourth season, provided that it’s not aired or been totally accomplished.
Of course, Netflix is smart as a house for season 4, given it holds the worldwide license, however because it stands, there’s no information on whether or not Netflix will probably be that future house. As time passes, the chance of it occurring turns into more and more small.
Netflix will stay the house to Snowpiercer seasons 1-3 for the foreseeable future, with most areas now having the rights to the sequence till March twenty ninth, 2032.
