Trivia

  • The series launched on Sunday May 17, 2020 ,at 9p m. It was previously planned to launch on Sunday ,May 31.
  • The network was responding to the growing appetite for content as the majority of Americans are in lockdown.
  • It took a journey of five years across three networks and multiple showrunners before Tomorrow Studios was able to shepherd “Snowpiercer” to its May 17 debut on TNT.
  • The second season of the show, halted production due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
  • The show has had a long gestation.
  • TNT ordered the Snowpiercer pilot back in November 2016 and picked it up to series over two years ago.
  • The show was given an early Season 2 renewal in May and moved from TNT to sister channel TBS.
  • The show debuted to 3.3 million total viewers across TNT and TBS.[1]
    • Among them 607,000 tuned in to the 9 p.m. telecast who were in the key 18-49 demographic.[1]
    • The total viewers represents the largest debut for a TNT show since “The Alienist” in 2018.[1]
    • The series premiere tallied almost exactly 1 million viewers in the demo.[1]
  • Across the Atlantic, the show is not airing on Netflix
    • The first two episodes dropped on Monday 25 May on Netflix, with one coming every Monday from then on.
  • Though in the story Snowpiercer is 10 miles long, with 1,001 cars. [2]
    • Production designer Barry Robison and his art department built 18 cars on four stages.[2]
      • Including the engine; a hydroponic gardening car; first- , second- and third-class dining cars; a sushi restaurant with an undersea element; and the “chains” car, which resembles an Asian night market.[2]
  • For the interiors, Robison looked to Japan and China for clues as to where locomotive design technology is headed.[2]
    • He and art director Tom Wilkins also contacted Canadian railway companies, which offered insights and solutions for the problems of a vehicle moving through hostile environments like the one Snowpiercer travels through — notably information about snowplows, debris diverters and warming elements to keep the train moving.[2]

Development

Much of the series is based on the original 2013 film, Snowpiercer. Tomorrow Studios filed for rights to develop the series in 2015, and the series was ordered to pilot in November 2016; Josh Friedman would serve as showrunner with Derrickson directing the Pilot. Friedman would later be removed from the series by network TNT, who cited creative differences with the network.

Despite a new showrunner being hired, Graeme Manson, Derrickson refused to return to shoot a new Pilot, citing that the original script was the best he had ever read and sequentially, his directing was some of his best—if not his best—work. The Pilot was later reshoot, with nothing but the special effects from the original being used.

Netflix picked up international streaming rights for the series outside of the US shortly after.

In 2020, TNT released a timeline for the Snowpiercer saga, citing that the series took place seven years following the extinction event, but the movie took place fifteen years post-extinction. This revelation means that, despite the show being loosely based on the movie, the events of the show predate the movie by eight years.
