Snowpiercer: TNT Sci-Fi Thriller Gets Season 3 Order Ahead of Return

With TNT's Snowpiercer now less than a week away from its second season premiere, there's one thing we can definitely predict about the season. No matter how things end between Layton (Daveed Diggs), Melanie (Jennifer Connelly), and the very-much-alive-and-very-much-real Mr. Wilford (Sean Bean), the train will keep chugging along. How are we so sure, because TNT announced on Tuesday that the sci-fi thriller had been picked up for a third season.

For a small taste of the chaos and corruption yet to come courtesy of Mr. Wilford, check out the official trailer for the second season of TNT's Snowpiercer– with the series set to return on Monday, January 25:

At the end of season one, the survivors of the revolution are trying to pick up the pieces and maintain a fragile peace amongst the now merged classes with Layton (Diggs) emerging as the train's leader. Discovering Mr. Wilford (Bean) is alive and headed their way on a rival train, Melanie (Connelly) risks going outside to prevent him from invading Snowpiercer. While she's out there, it's revealed that Alexandra (Blanchard), Melanie's daughter, who she thought had died, is alive and has become Wilford's dedicated protegee. In season two, an entirely new power struggle emerges, causing a dangerous rift as people are divided between their loyalty to Layton and to Mr. Wilford, who has a new train, new technology and a game plan that keeps everyone guessing. While Layton battles Wilford for the soul of Snowpiercer, Melanie leads the charge on a shocking new discovery that could change the fate of humanity.
