In a strange rail twist for TNT's troubled Snowpiercer series, a second season order has been given before the first even airs.

If you'll recall, the series had some issues stemming from creative differences in the purest sense of the term, with showrunner Josh Friedman left the project early on, and director of the pilot Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange) refused to return for reshoots when the new showrunner Graeme Manson needed changes made.

Renewed/Cancelled says the renewal was done "quietly", and we'll let you know if we hear about a confirmation.
