LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- TNT says it has ordered an hour-long pilot for Snowpiercer, a futuristic thriller based on the 2013 film with the same name by director Bong Joon Ho.
The first episode of a potential series is being executive-produced by writer and show-runner Josh Friedman. The story is set "seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, and the remnants of humanity inhabit a gigantic, perpetually moving train that circles the globe," a synopsis noted.
