The TNT science-fiction saga stars Daveed Diggs and Jennifer Connelly and is partly based on the Chris Evans-starring film.

This is a show about what happens after the worlds gone wrong.

They attempt to cool the planet and that goes desperately wrong.

The classes are stacked in this very neat fashion, says Diggs.

Wealth in the front, poverty in the back.

Theyre not privy to most of the social services of the train.

But they live in exchange for work.

He’s struggling back there with everybody but he becomes useful for people uptrain.

So, totally divorced from real life, then.

Yeah, nothing to do with it, she adds, sarcastically.

Because climate change doesnt exist either, right?

So, yeah, this is a fantasy.

Manson reveals that director Bong has checked in to see the progress of the small screenSnowpiercer.

“He came to set at least a couple of times,” says Manson.

“But really hes kind of hands off.

But the film ofSnowpierceris a constant touchstone for myself.”

What is it with him and confined places?

“Yeah, I feel like an idiot,” he says with a chuckle.

“Im like,Cubewasn’t bad enough?

Now you had to put it in a tube?”

Snowpiercerhas taken a long time to arrive at the premiere-date station.

It was three years ago that Diggs and Connelly were announced as the leads of the show.

In May, Friedman seemed to take aim at Manson in a series of tweets.

The reshoots, directed by James Hawes (Black Mirror), were certainly extensive.

Hawes and Manson essentially started all over again with the same stars.

I loved doing it the first time, and Ive loved doing it now, says Connelly.

But everything was different.

As for Friedmans tweets about him, Manson told EW, I see no reason to respond.

I mean, I understand.

It sucks getting fired.

In May of last year, it was announced thatSnowpiercerwas being picked up for season 2.

However, he also said that he was reassured by the success ofCube.

People in Japan loved that filmbecauseit was claustrophobic, explains Manson.

People in France loved it because it was superexistential.

So, lets get existential, North America!
