Daveed Diggs Discusses Snowpiercer Series Finale

The Journey of Snowpiercer

Snowpiercer has finally reached its destination.

The Beginnings

The television series launched in 2020 on TNT, based on the 2013 film of the same name (and therefore the 1982 French graphic novel that inspired the film). With the world a frozen wasteland, the series followed the passengers of the Snowpiercer train as they circled the globe. Until the final season saw some of them get off that train.

The Journey Continues

The show, led by Jennifer Connelly and Daveed Diggs, first premiered on TNT, where it faced several delays but eventually aired three seasons of intense post-apocalyptic drama and was then renewed for a fourth. However, TNT would later scrap the fourth season, and fans had to wait more than a year before finding out its fate. In the end, AMC swooped in to give fans the ending of the story.

“I felt great about it,” star Mike O’Malley previously told EW, speaking to how the show ends. “We had a very difficult season 3 because we were shooting during COVID. That we even had the opportunity to then tell this whole new story, get off the train, do different things, open the world up, I just have a lot of gratitude for it.”

Diggs shared a similar sentiment. “All of the twists and turns in season 4 were really exciting to me,” he said. “I couldn’t have predicted where it ended up.”

In terms of saying goodbye to both the show and the cast, Diggs added, “Those last days were nice, everybody was there.” He was quick to note that even though everybody didn’t survive the story, production did a good job “getting folks together and having it really feel like a conclusion.”

Because if there’s one thing every story deserves, it’s an ending.
