Why won’t there be a Snowpiercer season 5?

As a long-time movie buff who has seen his fair share of dystopian thrillers, I must say that the news about Snowpiercer coming to an end with season 4 is bittersweet. It’s been quite a rollercoaster ride for fans, waiting for the fourth season and now having to say goodbye to the series entirely.


The dystopian series, Snowpiercer, has faced numerous twists and turns in an attempt to deliver a fourth season to its audience, but sadly, it’s now confirmed that the show will be coming to an end.

Since the final episode has aired in the U.S., we won’t get another season of Snowpiercer, as the show is not coming back for Season 5.

Despite experiencing some setbacks in releasing the fourth season on time, the concluding episode of this series promises an exciting, climactic finish. Originating from the 2013 film “Snowpiercer” by Bong Joon-ho and the 1982 French graphic novel “Le Transpercéniége” by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand, and Jean-Marc Rochette, UK viewers will have to stay patient for a bit longer before they can watch the final chapter unfold on their television screens.

But why exactly is Snowpiercer ending with season 5? Read on to find out.

It was announced back in June 2022 by Deadline that Snowpiercer would end with season 4 on TNT.

According to a representative from the network, it was confirmed that “Snowpiercer” would conclude following a prosperous, extended tenure on TNT.

With their exceptional skills, the creative team skillfully transformed an unusual concept into a gripping tale that resonated with audiences. The production received widespread praise, left its mark on the post-apocalyptic genre, and continues to be cherished by fans as an enduring piece of art.

In January 2023, it became official that TNT wouldn’t broadcast the fourth season of Snowpiercer. Instead, the series moved to a new platform, AMC, within the United States.

Snowpiercer is a gripping adventure that has built a dedicated fanbase, much like our popular series franchises. It’s an exciting new addition to AMC and AMC+. Ben Davis, executive VP of original programming at AMC Networks and AMC Studios, shared this statement. We can’t wait for viewers to watch the first three seasons later this year, before the highly anticipated fourth season led by Paul Zbyszewski and a talented cast arrives.

From a fellow cinephile perspective, I’ve been eagerly awaiting news about when Season 4 of my favorite show will hit the big screen in the UK, but as of now, there’s no solid confirmation – guess we’ll simply have to keep our fingers crossed and stay tuned!

Regarding why the series was discontinued, no clear explanations have been provided so far. Over the course of its broadcast, the show faced criticism for altering the original source material and the constraints of being released episodically on a weekly basis.

It appears that there might have been more to the Snowpiercer storyline, as series actor Mike O’Malley was questioned by TVLine about whether or not season 4 had been scripted as a concluding season.

He expressed his wish that they might continue, but he believes there’s a possible ending which could mark the conclusion, and it’s quite optimistic. To be honest, I am incredibly eager for this series to be released so that everyone can witness it, as it’s truly fantastic.

In the United States, you can now stream Snowpiercer season 4 on AMC. However, as of now, a release date for the UK has yet to be announced.
