TNT will no longer air Snowpiercer’s fourth season, and Tomorrow Studios is looking for a new home for the final season as well as potential spinoffs.
TNT
The highly acclaimed series Snowpiercer, inspired by the 2013 film of the same name directed by Bong Joon-ho, has recently been met with disappointing news. TNT, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery, has announced that the fourth season of Snowpiercer will not be aired, making it the final scripted original series to be featured on the network. The cancelation of the fourth season came as a surprise, as the show had already been renewed for another season. This decision is thought to be related to tax write-offs for content at Warner Bros. Discovery. Snowpiercer has left a lasting impact on television, and its fans are disappointed that the story will not have a proper conclusion.

In a statement to Deadline, a spokesperson for the network stated that it was a difficult decision not to air the season but that they remain supportive of the talented individuals behind the series and are open to working with them on future projects.
“We can confirm that TNT will not air season four of Snowpiercer,” a spokesperson for the network said. “This was a difficult decision, but our admiration for the talented writers, actors and crew who brought Snowpiercer’s extraordinary post-apocalyptic world to life remains strong. We have been working collaboratively with the producers since last year to help the series find a new home where fans can continue to enjoy the compelling story and exceptional visual experience. We look forward to working with them on future projects.”

It’s been a wild ride for fans of the hit series Snowpiercer, as it was announced in June that the show’s fourth season would be it’s last. However, the decision not to air the final season was reportedly made later in the year for tax write-off purposes. This move is not an isolated incident, as Warner Bros. Discovery has recently announced the cancelation of multiple other projects, including Westworld and Batgirl. The company’s CFO, Gunnar Wiedenfels, has stated that the tax write-off cancelations are now all over; however, there is still concern over what other projects might have been axed that haven’t been publicly announced yet.
But fans of the series will be glad to know that Tomorrow Studios has acquired the franchise rights and is currently looking for a new partner to help bring the show’s final season to fruition. In a statement, Tomorrow Studios’ CEO and President, Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements, said, “We love Snowpiercer and believe season four completes a story with incredible talent that will entertain viewers while exploring issues of climate change and class warfare. We are so passionate about this series that we have acquired the rights to control the franchise. We hope to find the perfect partner shortly and finish a great ride with the final season.”
The show has been a hit with audiences since its premiere and has explored important themes such as climate change and class warfare. Snowpiercer’s third season may have been its last, but Tomorrow Studios’ efforts to find a new partner to air the final season shows their dedication to the show and its fans, giving them hope for a satisfying end to the series.
