Work. Honor. Order.
The series adaptation of Bong Joon Ho’s “Snowpiercer” (which was based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob) is headed to TBS next year, and we’ve got your first look at the post-apocalyptic sci-fi series out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight.
It looks like TBS has a winner on their hands with this one, with Jennifer Connelly in the leading role of a series that’s sure to have a lot to say about the political climate of today.
Check out the trailer below and expect the series to premiere in Spring 2020!
The series also stars Daveed Diggs, Mickey Sumner, Susan Park, Benjamin Haigh (The Conjuring 2), Sasha Frolova, Katie McGuinness (“Roots”), Alison Wright (“The Americans”), Annalise Basso (Ouija: Origin of Evil, Oculus, Captain Fantastic), Sam Otto, Roberto Urbina, Sheila Vand, and Lena Hall.
Set seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, the series centers on the remnants of humanity, who inhabit a gigantic, perpetually-moving train that circles the globe. As it does, issues of class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival are raised.
“Snowpiercer” is produced by Tomorrow Studios (a joint venture between Marty Adelstein and ITV Studios), along with CJ Entertainment, who produced the original film.
