“Snowpiercer” Season 4 will see the light of day after all.
AMC has acquired the exclusive U.S. linear and streaming rights to all four seasons of the post-apocalyptic drama series after it was previously axed at its original network home, TNT.
It had already been announced Season 4 would be the show’s last before TNT parent company Warner Bros. Discovery decided to not air Season 4 altogether in a cost-cutting move. Producer Tomorrow Studios then shopped the show to other outlets.
The first three seasons of “Snowpiercer” will be available to stream on AMC+ later this year, while Season 4 will premiere on AMC and AMC+ in early 2025.
