Snowpiercer season 4 is the fourth season of a post-apocalyptic series based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige, which first came out in 1982. The series originally aired on the TNT network before moving to AMC for its fourth season.

Snowpiercer season 4, episode 3 is titled Life Source and will be released on Sunday, August 4, at 9 pm ET.

Snowpiercer season 4 takes place in a dystopian future where attempts to combat global warming by releasing cooling chemicals into the atmosphere backfired and ushered in a new ice age.

The Snowpiercer is a luxury train carrying the survivors through this freezing world, with the people inside the train stratified into multiple socioeconomic classes.

However, there are people who forcefully jumped onto the train even though they were not selected as passengers. These people are called the Tailies.

Season 4 marks a significant change in the status quo, with the passengers of the Snowpiercer splitting between those who want to remain on the train with Melanie Cavill (Jennifer Connelly) and those who want to start a new life in the settlement known as New Eden with Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs).

What happens in Snowpiercer season 4?

Snowpiercer season 4 picks up where season 3 left off, with the survivors of the Snowpiercer and Big Alice conflict being split into separate groups. Melanie's group remains on the Snowpiercer train, while Andre's group heads for the settlement of New Eden.

The survivors find themselves in conflict with remnants of the International Peacekeeping Forces, who are led by Admiral Anton Milius. Milius's forces first hijack the Snowpiercer train and attack the survivors led by Melanie.

As for New Eden, their survivors are subjected to acts of sabotage and abductions, which culminate in Zarah's death and Liana's kidnapping. When Andre Layton prepares to launch a rescue operation, his colony is approached by an injured Audrey, who warns them of an imminent attack.

As for the survivors led by Melanie, they battle the Peacekeeping forces in a war of attrition, as she tries to rescue the people under her stewardship from Milius's attacks, which he's trying to use as leverage to force a surrender.

Eventually, the Snowpiercer docks at an underground base inside a mountain in Djibouti. There, Melanie meets with a former colleague named Dr. Nima Rosseau, who reveals a plan he's concocted to reverse the ice age.

Using CW-7, they can break up the atmosphere, undo the Freeze, and create more warm spots like the one in New Eden, but to do that, the Snowpiercer will need to travel and disperse the chemical. Melanie agrees to the plan and establishes a truce with Milius.

However, by the end of season 4 episode 2, Audrey's warning makes it clear that Milius still intends to attack the survivors at New Eden. Season 4 episode 3 will pick up where these plot threads leave off, and hopefully give some answers on the International Peacekeeping Forces' true agenda.


Snowpiercer season 4, episode 3, titled Life Source, will air on August 4, 2024, on AMC and AMC+.
