| |
| ===Development===
| |
| In November 2015, [[Marty Adelstein]]'s Tomorrow Studios optioned the rights to develop a television series based on the 2013 film [[Snowpiercer Movie|Snowpiercer]], which was adapted from the 1982 French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by [[Jacques Lob]], [[Benjamin Legrand]], and [[Jean-Marc Rochette]]. The film's director [[Bong Joon-ho]] was attached as an executive producer alongside Adelstein and [[Josh Friedman]], with the latter also set to write. A year later in November 2016, the project was ordered to pilot along with backup scripts by '''TNT''' with Friedman to serve as showrunner. In May 2017, it was announced that [[Scott Derrickson]] would direct the pilot written by Friedman. The pilot was picked up to series in January 2018. Later that month, Friedman was removed from the project by '''TNT''' due to "creative differences" with the network. [[Graeme Manson]] was appointed to replace Friedman as showrunner the following month. That June, Derrickson refused to return for reshoots on the pilot due to creative disputes with Manson, explaining via Twitter:
| |
|
| |
| *''"The 72-page Snowpiercer TV pilot script by [Josh Friedman] is the best I’ve ever read. The feature-length pilot I made from that script may be my best work. The new showrunner has a radically different vision for the show. I am forgoing my option to direct the extreme reshoots."''
| |
|
| |
| Less than two weeks later, [[James Hawes]] joined the series in July as a co-executive producer and a director to oversee the reshoots for the pilot. Later that month, Netflix picked up the international distribution rights to stream the series outside of the United States and China. In May 2019, it was announced that the series would air on TBS instead of [[TNT]] for a spring 2020 release, and that a second season had already been ordered by the network. Manson will return as showrunner for the second season.

| === Writing ===
| |
| The series is designed to be a reboot of the original 2013 film's continuity. The story takes place seven years after a climate catastrophe rendered the outside world uninhabitable, forcing the remnants of humanity to live confined inside of a massive train that constantly circles the globe. The series investigates the struggles of class disparity, as the passengers of the train are segregated based on economic status. Regarding how the television adaptation would differentiate itself from the 2013 film, series star [[Daveed Diggs]] said that the show would "broaden exponentially" the world established by both the film and the 1982 graphic novel. "That's one of the advantages of TV, you have time," Diggs said. "So the politics that are hinted at in the film are explored in much more depth, and the mechanism of the train [is explored further] — just the little things that create a world, world specificity." At the 2017 Television Critics Association press tour, [[TNT]] and TBS president Kevin Reilly revealed that the Snowpiercer series would be akin to a "space ship show" due to its contained setting and that it would feature an ongoing mystery during the first season.
