TNT’s upcoming “Snowpiercer” adaptation has changed networks and showrunners and undergone major redevelopment since it was first announced years ago, but the series will finally make it to screen this spring.
Series star Daveed Diggs put it simply: “Takes a long time to make really good s—.”
The long-gestating show was first put into development at TNT five years ago, with Josh Friedman writing the original pilot and set to serve as showrunner. Friedman was fired in 2018 over “creative differences” and replaced by “Orphan Black” co-creator Graeme Manson. The show was then almost completely redeveloped — though the original cast, including Diggs and co-star Jennifer Connelly, stayed attached to the project — and shuffled around Turner’s networks before finally getting a firm May premiere date on Wednesday.
