TNT Moves Up Snowpiercer Premiere

TNT is moving the premiere of its highly anticipated post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller Snowpiercer up to Sunday, May 17, at 9 p.m.

Set more than seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, Snowpiercer centers on the remnants of humanity who inhabit a perpetually moving train, with 1001 cars, that circles the globe. The TV adaptation is based on the graphic novel series and film from Oscar winner Bong Joon Ho (Parasite).

The series was renewed for a second season prior to season one airing. Production on season one wrapped and season two production is nearly completed.

“Snowpiercer is one of the most anticipated original series of 2020 and in this climate, viewers are craving thrilling, engaging, edge-of-your-seat content that speaks to them on a deeper level,” said Brett Weitz, general manager for TNT, TBS and truTV. “It is extremely important that we continue with our promise to meet audiences where they are, and to that effect, we are moving up Snowpiercer‘s premiere so that fans can enjoy this futuristic series even earlier.”
