The season finale of Snowpiercer on Netflix certainly brought proceedings to a dramatic finish.
The dystopian thriller based on the film of the same name by Parasite director Bong Joon-ho saw some major revelations as the revolution led by Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs) faced a number of roadblocks.
Meanwhile, former ruler of the train Melanie Cavill ( Jennifer Connelly ) was dealt a shock double reunion that teased some major conflict to come.
The next season will also introduce Sean Bean as a major new character who has been teased for the entire first run.
So, what can we expect from the second run of Snowpiercer?
And when will it hit our screens on Netflix?
*Spoiler warning for Snowpiercer season 1*
Snowpiercer season 2 release date
Snowpiercer season 2 has already been confirmed and much of the season has already been filmed.
However, before filming could be completed it was shut down in March due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
As a result not everything was filmed, but this does mean we can likely expect the series in 2021.
We just don't have an exact date yet.

Showrunner Graeme Manson told The Hollywood Reporter: "It's a huge, huge burden to bear to try to bring the sides together.
"The real, real challenge for Layton is to reconcile the revolutionary with what he may have to be as a politician...
"And then who is on the horizon, but it could be the great Mr Wilford to throw all of that into disarray.
"So already this nascent democracy is under threat."
Will Melanie have much of a future aboard the train? How will she react to seeing Alexandra again?
Will Mr Wilford be the new enemy of the revolution?
