During the series’ appearance at the socially-distanced 2020 New York Comic Con, TNT announced a release date for Snowpiercer season 2…and the network is probably hoping that the political and social landscape will be a little more chill when the show arrives this time around. Snowpiercer’s second season will launch on Monday, Jan. 25 at 9 p.m. ET on TNT. Additionally, all 10 episodes of the show’s first season will be available to stream on HBO Max on Jan. 1. As part of the announcement, TNT unveiled a fresh new teaser. This teaser abides by a pretty clear cut principle in television advertising: if you’ve got Sean Bean, then you use Sean Bean. Yes, as previously announced, Bean (Game of Thrones) will be joining the cast of season 2 as the mythical Mr. Wilford, creator of humanity’s new post-apocalyptic train home, Snowpiercer. This teaser sees Wilford arriving on his second train, Big Alice, and squaring off with Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs). TNT’s plot description for Snowpiercer season 2 reads: “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. ”
