Based on the 1982 French graphic novel Le Transperceneige, which subsequently inspired Bong Joon-Ho’s 2013 film, Snowpiercer follows the inhabitants of a high-tech train that perpetually circles the globe after an event called the Freeze made Earth uninhabitable. But unfortunately, the 1001 carriage train has reproduced all the inequalities of a class-based society - and this brutal divide has dire consequences.
Diggs returns as Andre Layton, an ex-detective who led the rebellion against First Class, and Connelly is back as Melanie Cavill, who does whatever necessary to prevent hell breaking loose aboard. But the surprise arrival of Mr Wilford – the revered billionaire benefactor of Snowpiercer – looks to reignite divisions between passenger’s loyal to Layton, and those beholden to the grandiose myth of Mr Wilford.
With Big Alice latched on to Snowpiercer, there’s a whole new train to explore – full of dark promise and new characters. Rowan Blanchard reprises her role as Melanie’s daughter Alex, long believed dead, while new cast members include Damien Young and Sakina Jaffrey, Chelsea Harris as a covert operative, and Tom Lipsinki as a bureaucratic member of hospitality.

Is Snowpiercer on Netflix?
Yes - but not universally.
While many major Netflix markets like the UK, Canada and Australia are home to Snowpiercer and all-new season 2 episodes, it's not available on Netflix US due to TNT's exclusive broadcast rights to the show.
Fortunately, Netflix global subscribers can access their home account from all over the world. Here's how.
How to watch Snowpiercer season 2 from outside your country
Any who find themselves abroad will likely discover they're unable to watch Snowpiercer season 2 like they would at home, due to regional restrictions.
Luckily, there’s a simple solution in the form of a VPN. It’s a simple bit of software which alters your IP address, allowing you connect to your IPTV service in your home country, and therefore stream your favorite shows live or on-demand no matter where you are.
ExpressVPN - get the world's best VPN
While there are hundreds of VPNs to choose from, we always recommend ExpressVPN. As well as being fast, intuitive to use, and straightforward to install, it's also compatible with a plethora of devices - Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, and iOS and Android, to list just a few.
ExpressVPN's flexible 30-day money back guarantee is difficult to argue with too. But, even better, you can purchase an annual plan for a 49% discount and 3 months extra FREE – a brilliant offer for an essential bit of kit.

How to watch Snowpiercer season 2 online in the US
Fans of addictive dystopian sci-fi will want to tune in to TNT for new Snowpiercer season 2 episodes from Monday, January 25 at 9pm ET/PT, and 8pm CT.
For those without cable, there are plenty of ways to watch TNT online, too.
The most affordable is Sling TV, where you can watch TNT programming with either a Sling Blue or Sling Orange subscription. They’re both $30 a month. If choosing, the Orange option has fewer channels, but more sports content, while Blue has about 50 channels, providing more news and entertainment. You can get both for $45 a month - and currently try a FREE Sling TV trial or get $10 off your first month instead..
As we’ve already mentioned, none of these services will work if you’re trying to access them from another country. However, downloading a VPN will allow you to change your IP address, and so watch Snowpiercer season 2 online just like you would at home - only from anywhere in the world
