Snowpiercer’s Season 1 Premiere episode “First, the Weather Changed” airs this Sunday, May 17 on TNT at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT with a replay at 10:06 p.m. ET/PT. You can catch Snowpiercer’s TV series debut online at TNT’s official live stream or with a free seven-day trial from FuboTV.
Better Call Saul fans are in for a treat with Hector Salamanca himself, Mark Margolis, portraying Old Ivan in Snowpiercer’s very first television episode. Walking Dead fans will also recognize a familiar Savior face in Steven Ogg (Simon) featured in a major role as Pike. Snowpiercer stars Oscar winning actress Jennifer Connelly as Melanie Cavill and Tony Award Winner Daveed Diggs as Andre Layton, who find themselves on opposite sides of the train.
Much like the beginning of the 2013 Chris Evans (Curtis) and Ed Harris’ (Mr. Wilford) film, a revolution will erupt in the tail that changes the course of Wilford Industry’s train.
In the preview trailer posted by TNT above, you can see a fur coat wearing Ruth Wardell [Alison Wright] taking reigns of the tail in the same style of Tilda Swinton’s Mason in the film. Andre Layton is removed among the tailies, disrupting and delaying a potential rebellion as hinted/signaled by Pike.
A grisly murder stokes class division on Snowpiercer, the Great Ark Train; Melanie Cavill, the powerful head of hospitality, deputizes a dangerous rebel to help solve the killing — Andre Layton, the world’s only surviving homicide detective.
Snowpiercer’s television premiere episode is directed by James Hawes and written by Graeme Manson. It’s based on the book series Le Transperceneige by Benjamin Legrand, Jacques Lob, and Jean-Marc Rochette. You can pre-order the complete English collection of the book series on Amazon, it’s set to release on October 13, 2020.
