Considering how many problems it was to get Snowpiercer on TV, in the first place, it makes sense that TNT wants to keep its adaptation of the movie Bong Joon Ho as strong as possible. Not you replace a showrunner and a director and then move the series from one network to another just for you to finish prematurely, right? TNT seems to agree, because Variety says the network ordered a third season of the drama. This occurs about a week before the show’s second season premiere, so it seems a relatively rare positive sign for SnowpiercerThe future prospects of – like when you heard that the world is a frozen desert, but then you see a polar bear and realize that things can start to be fine again. (It happens in the movie.)

Snowpiercer the show, how Snowpiercer the film, is about a train that transports that infinitely rotates the planet while carrying the last survivors of humanity in the wake of an icy apocalypse. It stars Daveed Diggs and Jennifer Connelly. The third season is obviously not going to debut for a while, but the break between seasons one and two was not particularly long.
