Shout! TV Celebrates 25 Years of Farscape; AMC Acquires Snowpiercer
Shout! TV will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the cult-classic television series Farscape (Sci-Fi Channel from 1999-2003) with a marathon airing on Tuesday, March 19 on Shout! TV and the 24/7 Farscape channel beginning at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET. The marathon will feature an exclusive introduction from executive producer Brian Henson and include all-new interview segments with Farscape stars Ben Browder (John Crichton) and Gigi Edgley (Chiana). The marathon will air classic and fan-favorite episodes of the series curated by Ben Browder and Gigi Edgley. Additionally, Shout! TV will be introducing new commercial break interstitials to the Farscape channel in celebration of the anniversary, including trivia, production memories, and more featuring Ben Browder and Gigi Edgley. Farscape follows astronaut John Crichton as a freak accident during an experimental space mission catapults him across a thousand galaxies to an alien battlefield. Suddenly, he’s trapped among alien creatures wielding deadly technology – a battle that 20th century sci-fi pop culture never prepared him for. Hunted by a merciless military race, Crichton begins his quest for home from a galaxy far, far away...
AMC Networks announced that it has acquired the exclusive U.S. linear and streaming rights to all four seasons of the post-apocalyptic drama series Snowpiercer, formerly aired on TNT. The first three seasons of the critically acclaimed drama will stream on AMC+ later this year leading up to the series' season four premiere on AMC and AMC+ in early 2025. Set more than seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, Snowpiercer centers on the remnants of humanity who inhabit a perpetually moving train, with 1001 cars, that circles the globe. Class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival play out in this riveting television adaptation based on the graphic novel series by Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette, and the film from Oscar(R)-winner Bong Joon Ho (Parasite). The action-packed finale of season three left a split of the train with Melanie Cavill (Jennifer Connelly) leading the Eternal Engine and those passengers who chose to stay aboard Snowpiercer for relative safety, and Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs) leading the others on Big Alice who chose to adventure to the unknown, outside world of New Eden.
Snowpiercer stars Oscar(R) winner Jennifer Connelly, GRAMMY(R) and Tony(R) Award-winner Daveed Diggs, Sean Bean, Rowan Blanchard, Emmy(R) nominee Alison Wright, Mickey Sumner, Iddo Goldberg, Katie McGuinness, Tony(R) Award-winner and GRAMMY(R) nominee Lena Hall, Sam Otto, Chelsea Harris, Mike O'Malley, Roberto Urbina and Sheila Vand. Previously announced new cast members for season four include Clark Gregg (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Avengers, Thor) and Tony(R) Award-winner Michael Aronov (The Drop, The Americans, Operation Finale).
