The Season 1 finale of TNT's Snowpiercer featured several big twists and turns, and set up the second season by introducing Game of Thrones alum Sean Bean as a character from Bong Joon-Ho's movie, Mr. Wilford.

Wilford was mentioned throughout the season, but we were led to believe that the billionaire mastermind behind Snowpiercer was missing and presumed dead. It turns out, he's been alive all along and running a completely separate train (Big Alice) full of survivors.

This makes a lot more sense than Wilford being deceased, as the show was ultimately revealed to be a prequel to the critically acclaimed film, which starred Ed Harris as the same character.

Check out a brief promo for Snowpiercer Season 2 below.

It remains to be seen how Mr. Wilford goes about taking control of the train, but his reappearance is certain to have major ramifications for Melanie Cavill (Jennifer Connelly) and the rest of the main characters.

Snowpiercer is set seven years after the world becomes a frozen wasteland, and follows the remnants of humanity, who inhabit a perpetually moving train consisting of 1001 carriages that circles the globe once a year. Built by billionaire Wilford, the train is rigidly separated by class, with passengers caught up in a revolutionary struggle against the strictly imposed social hierarchy and unbalanced allocation of limited resources. The show questions class warfare, social injustice, and the politics of survival.

Tell us, did you watch Season 1 of Snowpiercer? If so, what did you think? Drop us a comment in the usual place.

Now that Netflix has all of the episodes it is time to binge this, excited to see it all in one go.

Then I'll come back here to read through the article for S2.

I guess I need to catch up on the whole first season and see what I missed...

The first season was good. There was a few episodes that were slow, but the last few were good. I'm curious how the world is going to change, now that Mr. Wilford is back.

Honestly, their best bet would be a total disconnect from the film's continuity - essentially a remake of the same concept in series form. And there being multiple trains all over the world makes a lot more sense. How the heck are you going to ensure the continuity of the species with just a few hundred people on a train? You can't.

@Omegacron - The show is set in a different continuity to the movie. The statement in this article that it is a prequel to the movie is inaccurate.

@captainireland - Good to hear. That bodes much better for the series, then. Thanks!

The show is not set in the same continuity as the movie. This has been confirmed.
