It’s been quite the ride for Snowpiercer, both on and off screen, with delays, cancelations, and service alterations making things complicated – a normal day for any train, really.
Based on Bong Joon-ho’s dystopian sci-fi movie, the thriller series has managed to expand on the original material and deliver four years of chaos.
Sadly, Snowpiercer is coming to an end with its fourth and final season, but there’s plenty of twists and turns for the bingeworthy TV show still to come.
Here’s when the new episodes will arrive, and what will happen as the series hurtles towards its final destination.

The latest of the Snowpiercer Season 4 episodes is titled ‘By Weeping Cross’. The synopsis reads: “The bridge is safe to cross and Big Alice pulls into New Eden. Layton, Josie, and Liana sit stranded in the middle of nowhere, freezing to death, when a masked soldier appears.”
