All aboard for the final ride ofSnowpiercer! This weekend, the acclaimed TNT series adapted byJosh FriedmanandGraeme Mansonwill begin its fourth season in its new home at AMC and AMC+ after weeks ofbringing the first three seasons to the streaming platform.The premiere will pick up in the aftermath ofthe Season 3 finaleafter the crew members split between maintaining the Eternal Engine with Melanie Cavill (Jennifer Connelly) or venturing to New Eden with Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs). Nine months in, both parties experience their own difficulties, including new threats that lie beyond the tracks. Ahead of the first episode, Collider has yet another exclusive look at what’s to come, this time focusing on Layton’s troubles as a saboteur appears among his group.
In the episode, aptly titled “Snakes in the Garden,” the residents of New Eden will beconfronted with the harsh realities of their situationas they try to establish a sustainable colony in the one remaining inhabitable spot on the snow-covered Earth. Though Big Alice and Snowpiercer parted ways months ago, the clip opens with Layton rushing in a badly injured Miss Audrey (Lena Hall) who arrived from Cavill’s group on a Track Scaler. Her withered skin leaves Layton in a panic to find Zarah (Sheila Vand) or Dr. Headwood (Sakina Jaffrey) before it’s too late to save her. Perhaps more ominous is the fact that she warned him about someone coming to the colony before passing out, a warning that becomes all the more dire when the power goes out. He quickly deduces that all the strange happenings around their settlementare the work of an outside party sabotaging them at every turn, but he has to gather everyone and find the unknown threat hiding among them.
The arrival of Audrey could mean ill tidings for Cavill’s group. As detailed in the episode description andshowcased in our previous sneak peek, things go south when unforeseen enemies go after Till (Mickey Sumner) and Ben (Iddo Goldberg) during a reconnaissance mission outside the train. Those aboard the Snowpiercer also have yet to identify the missile fired at the end of Season 3, and Audrey’s departure to New Eden creates more mysteriesabout the fate of the passengers going forward. With a few extra cast membersincludingClark GreggandMichael Aronov, everything is set up to sendSnowpiercerin an exciting new direction for the grand finale.
