Snowpiercer’s LJ actress hints that season 3 is in the works after ‘good news’ from show boss

SNOWPIERCER only concluded its first season this week, but it looks like the post-apocalyptic train will be running for many more episodes.

The two-part finale saw Andre Layon (Daveed Diggs) overthrow the train's ruling powers but ejecting a string of carriages at a junction, but he had to sacrifice a cart of his own in order to do so.

Things took an even more dramatic as a new train, Big Alice, emerged from the tundra and latched onto Snowpiercer.

It transpired that the train not only contained the engimatic Mr Wilford (Sean Bean), but Melanie Cavill's presumed-dead daughter, who stormed the train and demanded to see her.

Bosses previously confirmed that much of season 2 had already been filmed before sets were closed as part of the industry-wide coronavirus lockdown.

However, now actress Annalise Basso, who plays LJ Folger, has suggested that TV execs are already one step ahead and working on the third season of the dystopian saga.

“We were almost done with season 2 and then we got shut down, but, I got a call from the executive producer the other day," she told Inverse.

"I can't give too many details, but I'll just say it's good news,” she went on.

“We're just waiting on an official start date for season 3 and hoping to find some time to go back and finish season 2.”

The comments will no doubt delight fans who are already invested in the show.

In fact, the recent finale secured the highest ratings of the entire season.

The comments come after a first look trailer for season 2, in which Sean Bean’s Mr Wilford ominously vows to take back what’s his.

Fans were stunned when the character was revealed to be alive in the finale episode, after being lead to believe that Melanie had murdered him to take control of the train.

Elsewhere, Manson revealed the "pivotal, traumatic" moment that would go on to haunt Andre Layton in season 2.

Snowpiercer season one is available to stream on Netflix.
