SNOWPIERCER (TNT)
The post-apocalyptic drama was picked up for Season 4 last July, five months ahead of its Season 3 premiere (on Jan. 24) and nine months before the Warner/Discovery merger closed (on April 8).
Then in June, TNT, under the newly formed Warner Bros. Discovery, announced that Season 4 would be Snowpiercer‘s last. At the time of the announcement, production was said to be underway on its final batch of episodes.
Since then, Seasons 1-3 have been quietly scrubbed from HBO Max. Past seasons of previously cancelled TBS comedies Chad and The Last O.G. were also removed, signaling the potential forfeiture of SVOD rights for the basic cable originals.
Snowpiercer would be the biggest loss, to me. I’d like to see them finish the story.
Read up above, it’s ending next season.
Steven – Chad was canceled literally 8 hours before it was supposed to air. Just because the final season of Snowpiercer was announced doesn’t mean TNT will air it.
Yeah, well the Legend of Korra’s final season didn’t air on Nickelodeon either. It doesn’t mean Snowpiercer will never air their final season.
But Nickelodeon didn’t pull all access to Korra. Here literally every way to legitimately access the show has been pulled; you can’t even buy it on digital platforms now.
Steven – Mike said he would like to see them finish the story – s4 was always meant to be the last season, it isn’t the last one because it will be axed afterwards.
Mike – me too! I want to see what happens and whether they manage to rebuild life on Earth. Plus you know Wilford isn’t anywhere near close to being done for yet (I’d say they were stupid to let him live but he is just too good a character to lose yet! He’s one I am loving to hate too much! 😂)
please god have some pity for us renew Miracle Workers and American Dad we already lost B Positive How We Roll United States Of Al Duncanville and Mr Mayor we need fun while we get covid 19
Yes, and yes for both, but good adult animation is few and far between.
Really hope American Dad lives on, it has survived one cancellation already
Snowpiercer needs to go to a streamer
DG – Snowpiercer is already on Netflix. Plus it wouldn’t be the best acquisition for anyone as s4 was always meant to be the final season. They may see it as a way to get new subs for X months before it is finished and hope they stick around afterwards but tbh it’s too risky unless they managed to get exclusivity.
That’s just my personal opinion though, I may be talking complete rubbish 😂
American dad needs to stay alive!!!
I’d think that American Dad would move to adult swim if WBD wants to keep it around, at least through the two seasons it has ordered. After that, who knows?
I hate mergers.
Yep, companies buying either full or partial control of other networks sucks. BBC America is the first & best example. It was a station I would go to daily to see what they had. Now it’s just a dumping ground for edited & speedup TV shows or movies. I go Months without looking at it only coming back when Dr. Who or Top Gear are on.
As long as Miracle Workers survives, I’ll be happy. One of my favourite shows of recent years. I always thought Snowpiercer was a Netflix Original, as that’s how it’s branded here in Canada – maybe there’s hope for its fourth season to land there in the US?
Miracle Workers is such a gem. If it’s filming now, it has to land somewhere. Right?
Good thought on Snowpiercer.
I mean, Chad was finished filming and set to air twice so… BUT the fact that HBO Max hasn’t taken down Miracle Workers… that sounds like a good sign. We can’t be deprived of this excellent show!!
Agreed, American Dad would likely stay at Hulu either as a streaming original or they could partner with Freeform for basic cable right, which is also in-family.
I am most concerned about Snowpiercer. I watched the first 2 seasons of Miracle Worker and had no idea there was a season 3 or upcoming season 4.
All I cared about on TNT was Snowpiercer and Animal Kingdom. On TBS Rat in the Kitchen was extremely amusing, Chef Ludo also said it would return eventually.
And that’s it. I already subscribe to HBOMAX, and the only change i have seen is the disappearance of BeForeigners from international series, which surprised me because Warner had promoted it so heavily.
And the news that hbomax would no longer shoot series in certain European countries. I assume it’s because the cost is prohibitive, or I dunno EU rules & regs or Russia’s invading Ukraine.
I shouldn’t presume anything.
Snowpiercer is a wonderful series with two huge stars and is the making hopefully of stars to come and should they cancel it I’ll have a clearer idea about whether they’re fit to comprehend the nature of scripted fictive series.
American Dad on Hulu makes sense, Disney owns both. Hulu is picking up new episodes of Futurama next year, seems logical to keep AD on Hulu and to air the new episodes there as well. Miracle Workers fits good on HBO MAX, and since it wasn’t pulled is a good sign for the future of that show. I can see Snowpiercer on a platform like Netflix or Prime but it’s probably a long shot.
Hoping someone else picks up Snowpiercer. It has another 2-3 seasons of story it can tell easy. Amazon. Hulu. Netflix. Something.
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but that’s just not feasible. The original source material and the movie had a tangible end and it seems the show is heading that way. I’d rather they tell the full story in four seasons than arbitrarily drag the show out until it’s been wrung dry like TWD. The real question is whether it’ll air on TNT or not, and I hope it does.
If Miracle Workers is currently filming, I am guessing it will land someplace because I doubt they will just have it sit on the shelves forever. Just hoping it’s not the last season.
Maybe Comedy Central could rescue Miracle Workers & American Dad.
Of those mentioned, only watch Miracle Worker (hadn’t turned on TBS for years until hearing of this show only last year) and since it’s also on HBO Max, it was be a good transition for the show, off cable completely and solely onto streaming.
I really like Snowpiercer, it is the only show I watch on TNT currently and really want a proper ending. I just think it is rather ignorant to the fans to cause so much upheaval and not a great way to start.
Snowpiercer was ending anyway. But I really hope American Dad and Miracle Workers continue.
Really? They couldn’t have just let Chad air as scheduled? I mean, is it really going to do anything to their normal schedule of reruns and movies? And I really don’t get the scrubbing from HBO Max. Again, nothing is hurting them by leaving it as is. Stupidity all around.
It is beginning to sound like WBD is planning on declaring these series as write-offs…which would forbid them from selling them or airing them anywhere any longer.
I don’t think Disney would allow them to do that with American Dad.
What about The Cube? It’s unscripted but I haven’t heard anything about it.
Hope Miracle Workers survives
Sad to hear that these networks are trimming these 3 cool shows, all of which I watch.
So….if they’re cutting scripted shows, what’s left? Reality garbage? Not very original, though it is the cheapest way out. If I want to watch a group of narcissistic dimwits acting outrageous, I can head over to any Walmart and check out some of the shoppers. No thanks, T-networks.
…and they wonder why people are bailing in droves on network television and heading to streaming services….
Why watch TBS or TNT now! I loved Miracle Workers and CHAD that’s the only reason I watched TBS. I am so ready to see Season 2 of CHAD
The Warner bros merger is already a major mistake. A dumb move to get rid of American dad and comedy Chad. Very funny shows!!!
It’s not a scripted exodus. They’re just canceling shows that cost a ton of money and don’t get very much viewership.
Hmm terrible merger stupid calls. Good advertising profits needed yet lost. Now what was good of good showsTBS should mean total boring shows
