It’s going to be one hell of a ride. Snowpiercer leaves the station May 25 on Netflix.

The 2013 science fiction action film, Snowpiercer, from Oscar® winner Bong Joon-ho (Parasite) is now a series on the online streaming giant Netflix!

Class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival play out in this riveting television adaptation.
