Additional details on AMC Networks’ Comic-Con Panels and Events are below:
- Snowpiercer
panel on Friday, July 26, 11:15am-12:30pm, Ballroom 20
Set more than seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland,
Snowpiercer centers on the remnants of humanity who
inhabit a perpetually moving train, with 1001 cars, that circles the
globe. Class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival play
out in this riveting television adaptation based
on the graphic novel series by Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette, and
the film from Oscar®-winner Bong Joon Ho (Parasite). The action-packed finale of Season 3 left a split with Melanie Cavill (Jennifer Connelly) leading the Eternal Engine and
those passengers who chose to stay aboard Snowpiercer for relative safety, and Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs) leading the others on Big Alice choosing to adventure to the unknown, outside world of New Eden.
Fans will experience an exclusive advanced screening of an all-new episode of
Snowpiercer (Season 4, Episode 2 - "The Sting of
Survival") before it debuts on Sunday, July 28 on AMC and AMC+.
Afterwards, GRAMMY® and Tony® Award-winner
Daveed Diggs, Mickey Sumner, Mike O’Malley, and executive producers
Paul Zbyszewski and Christoph Schrewe will tease the series' final season with a discussion and fan Q&A moderated by
TV Guide Magazine’s Damian Holbrook.
