Plot
The series takes place in 2021, when the world has turned into a frozen wasteland, and the giant Snowpiercer train carries the surviving people who have become its passengers forever.
Annalisa Basso said that most of the 2nd season had already been filmed, and there were so many different stories about the passengers on the train.
