‘Snowpiercer’ to end with Season 4

LOS ANGELES (UPI) — TNT confirmed Friday that its dystopian drama, Snowpiercer, will end with its upcoming fourth season.

Deadline.com said production on Season 4 is now underway.

The cast’s options were not picked up for a fifth season, paving the way for the stars to take other jobs.

Featuring Daveed Diggs, Jennifer Connelly and Sean Bean, the sci-fi thriller set on a high-speed train was the final remaining original scripted series on TNT now that Animal Kingdom is kicking off its last season Sunday.

“We can confirm that Snowpiercer will end after a successful, multi-season run on TNT,” a network representative said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

“Its talented writers, actors, and crew took an extraordinary premise and brought it to life in thrilling ways. It was critically acclaimed, had a significant impact on the post-apocalyptic genre, and now remains in the hearts and minds of fans forever.”
