“Snowpiercer”: despite the cancellation, the fourth season could have been saved

The American channel TNT decided to cancel the TV series “Snowpiercer”due to cost savings that Warner Bros Discovery is looking for.

The TNT television series Snowpiercer has been another victim of the Warner Bros. content tax write-off. Discovery and thus joins various shelved projects such as Westworld, Batgirl, Roswell: New Mexico, Love Life and Minx. Based on the French comic book Le Transperceneige and the 2013 film Pong Joon Ho (seven years after Earth’s mass extinction but eight years before the feature film’s release), this movie follows the passengers of Snowpiercer, a giant train that travels around the globe and carrying the last human survivors after the world has been reduced to a frozen wasteland.

A spokesman for TNT said:

We can confirm that we will not be airing the fourth season of Snowpiercer. It was a difficult decision, but our admiration for the talented writers, cast and crew who brought Snowpiercer’s extraordinary post-apocalyptic world to life remains unbroken. Over the past year, we have been working with producers to help the show find a new broadcaster where fans can continue to enjoy a compelling story and an exceptional viewing experience. We look forward to working with them on future projects.

We hope to find the perfect partner soon and complete the big adventure in the final season.
