Like the 2013 film of the same name (directed by Parasite Oscar winner Bong Joon-Ho), the series is set on a massive train, housing by class the sole survivors of a global, apocalyptic Ice Age. Diggs stars as Layton Well, a prisoner-turned-revolutionary fighter against the elites who inhabit the front of the train. Hall plays Miss Audrey, a member of the train’s upper management.
Catch new episodes of the second season of Snowpiercer Mondays at 9 PM ET on TNT. In the February 22 episode, written by Tiffany Ezuma and directed by Leslie Hope, Layton (Diggs) and Miss Audrey (Hall) make a risky play for Big Alice, but Wilford (Sean Bean) has his own plans.
