AMC+ has released a forty-five-second teaser trailer for the fourth and final season of Snowpiercer. Based on the 1982 French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob and the 2013 film of the same title directed by Bong Joon-ho, the post-apocalyptic dystopian TV series was originally a TNT program before being canceled due to Warner Bros. Discovery's aggressive cost-cutting policies. It was then picked up by AMC, which will also stream the first three seasons of Snowpiercer on AMC+ this June, with the first two seasons releasing on June 1, and Season 3 arriving on June 8. The series, which stars Daveed Diggs, Jennifer Connelly, and Sean Bean, is set to release its fourth season on July 21, exclusively on AMC and AMC+.
Snowpiercer is set seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, and it centers on the remaining people, who inhabit a massive, perpetually-moving train that travels across the globe. The teaser shows a mysterious threat in the extremely cold, uninhabitable region, teasing that there will be more focus on the conflicts outside of the Snowpiercer train.
