The actress retweeted a media report about the casting, but has not commented on it.

The sci-fi show was renewed for Season 3 in January. It stars Jennifer Connelly, Daveed Diggs, Sean Bean, Rowan Blanchard, Alison Wright, Mickey Sumner, Iddo Goldberg, Katie McGuinness, Lena Hall, Annalise Basso, Sam Otto, Roberto Urbina, Sheila Vand and Steven Ogg.

Inspired by a 1982 graphic novel and 2013 film of the same name, Snowpiercer is about survivors of a cataclysmic weather event who become the class-divided passengers of a perpetually moving, 1,000-car train that has been circumnavigating a frozen Earth for more than seven years.
