Snowpiercer season 4: Release date, cast, plot, and everything we know so far

With Snowpiercer season 4 announced as the final installment to the franchise, the anticipation for how the series ends among fans has reached a fever pitch. Given how the series remained in development hell while under TNT, which saw recurring production delays, creative differences and other issues, fans can find relief after learning that AMC has picked up the show.

Given the production delays, Snowpiercer faced backlash from fans, and it was truly disappointing for those who have been following the series from day one. With the post-apocalyptic drama reaching its conclusion, there are a lot of expectations from the finale.

Snowpiercer season 4 is confirmed to be released on July 21, 2024. Read on to learn more.

Snowpiercer season 4 will be released on July 21, 2024

As stated above, Snowpiercer season 4 will be released on July 21, 2024 on AMC+. Similar to the first three seasons, the fourth installment will also run for ten episodes, slated to drop every Sunday from its debut to September 22, 2024.

Here’s how Courtney Thomasma, the executive vice president for AMC Networks, expressed her excitement regarding the final season:

“We can’t wait to share the final season of this thrill ride of a series with this vibrant fan community and new viewers starting July 21 on AMC and AMC+, with plenty of time built in to catch up on previous seasons on a variety of on demand platforms and AMC+ before then.

"Snowpiercer is an entertaining drama with a great cast and seeing how the ride ends will be a highlight of summer viewing worthy of a 1001-car train.”

The final season will pick up from where it left off in the third season’s finale, “The Original Sinners,” in which a time skip of three months sees a rocket explosion threaten the existence of the eponymous train.
