In addition to news of a third season, they have confirmed that Snowpiercer has already been renewed for a fourth, adding: “All of our seasons embark on an emotional, unexpected ride and the well-plotted storylines will continue to evolve and remain relevant to audiences. We’re excited to keep the train running into Season Four.”

‘Snowpiercer’ season 3 plot
Following on from the events of Snowpiercer season 2, which ended on a high note, the official plot for season 3 reads: “Season three picks up with Layton and his inner circle commanding a small pirate train in search of Melanie and a possible warm location to restart civilization, aided by a newfound survivor. Back on Snowpiercer, Mr. Wilford is consolidating power, foiled only by secret allies of Layton’s hidden on the train, committed to the cause.”
Here is the synopsis for the first episode of Snowpiercer season 3, “The Tortoise and the Hare”:
“While Wilford emphasizes his rule aboard his icy train, Layton’s pirate train continues its dangerous quest for warm spots, and comes across something entirely unexpected.”
