Snowpiercer
Prepare to brace.
Created by Josh Friedman, Graeme Manson
A grim, class-conscious sci-fi drama where survival and rebellion play out in the claustrophobic confines of a moving train, balancing high-concept worldbuilding with intimate character stakes.
More than seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, the remnants of humanity inhabit a gigantic, perpetually-moving train that circles the globe as class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival play out.
