TNT released a new trailer for Season 3 ofSnowpiercer, its apocalyptical series set aboard a never-stopping train crossing the frozen surface of Earth. Season 2 followed a bloody revolution inside the train, as the lower classes uprose against those in power in search of equality. The process, however, splits the Snowpiercer in two, a result Season 3 is set to explore.
The new trailer picks up where Season 2 left us, with Layton (Daveed Diggs) and Ruth (Alison Wright) commanding a small ten-car “pirate train” after they separated Snowpiercer’s head from the remaining 1,023 cars. The few allies of Layton’s escapade are now searching for Melanie (Jennifer Connelly) and a possible warm location called Eden. At the same time, Mr. Wilford (Sean Bean) is consolidating power in the Snowpiercer, awaiting Layton’s return while keeping everyone under his iron boots.
So, in the aftermath of the Snowpiecer revolution, one side of the conflict is trying to find a place to rebuild humanity sheltered from the cold. Unfortunately, on the other side, the same cycle of abuse repeats itself, as humans show how violent and authority the species can be.
