Something to look forward to in 2025.

Summary:

  • After being abruptly canceled by TNT, the sci-fi dystopia Snowpiercer has spent the past year desperately searching for a new home.
  • Finally picked up by AMC, the show is ready to premiere its fourth and final season.
  • However, it was decided to air the final season in 2025, leaving a gap for AMC viewers to binge the first three seasons.

After a full year without any positive updates from the Snowpiercer team, fans began to lose hope that the show would return to television.

With so much material already filmed, many thought it would be easier to release it independently, and some even suggested starting fundraisers to make sure season 4 would see the world.

Fortunately, there is no need to worry anymore as the show is being picked up. Now that it has joined the AMC schedule, Snowpiercer will have the chance to not only tell the rest of the story, but to ensure that it reaches everyone who wants to see it through the cable network.

In the excitement of the news, many fans may have missed a very important detail in the announcement. Although Snowpiercer has been picked up and will return for a final season, it won't air until 2025. So in the best case scenario, the gap between the premieres of season 3 and season 4 will be about 3 years.

When Will Snowpiercer Season 4 Come Out?

While it's nice to see the fan-favorite show back on TV, the pause that AMC needs between buying the show and releasing it is completely understandable.

First of all, Snowpiercer was acquired in the middle of the TV season after the 2023 strike, and most networks' lineups were already difficult to craft.

Second, while we know that season 4 was fully filmed, there may still be some post-production magic, or even reshoots needed in certain places.

The last argument was made by Ben Davis, Executive Vice President of Original Programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios, who shared his statement about Snowpiercer:

“We look forward to giving viewers an opportunity to binge the first three seasons later this year, in anticipation of the arrival of a remarkable fourth season helmed by [new showrunner] Paul Zbyszewski and this stellar cast, which will premiere in 2025,” he said.

Considering how long the wait for season 4 has been, it might be wise to re-watch the show from the beginning, even if you are the most loyal fan. Judging by everything Paul Zbyszewski and one of Snowriercer's most active spokesmen and cast members, Mike O'Malley, have shared, the final season is going to be a wild ride.

If you want to be the first one to watch Snowpiercer season 4, make sure to keep an eye out for more news and behind-the-scenes updates from the series’ crew and AMC executives.
