Snowpiercer, the show starring Sean Bean and Jennifer Connelly, has found a new home in the UK.
The dystopian thriller series, based on Bong Joon-ho's 2013 film, follows the passengers of the titular train, which carries the last remnants of humanity following an apocalypse. Life on the train isn't so pleasant, however, with class inequality and social injustice a trademark of civilian life.
Following the airing of its fourth and final season last year, fans in the UK have been wondering when they would be able to watch it, and they now have their answer after ITV acquired all four seasons.

The show, which was created by Josh Friedman and Graeme Manson, is now available to watch on ITVX, with all 40 episodes added to the streaming service today. Additionally, the 2013 film, which starred Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton, is also on the streamer.
In addition to Bean and Connelly, who play Joseph Wilford and Melanie Cavill respectively, the stacked cast for Snowpiercer includes Daveed Diggs, Mickey Sumner, Lena Hall and Clark Gregg, with the latter joining the show in the fourth season.

"Its talented writers, actors and crew took an extraordinary premise and brought it to life in thrilling ways. It was critically acclaimed, had a significant impact on the post-apocalyptic genre and now remains in the hearts and minds of fans forever."
It isn't the only show featuring Bean to be axed in recent years. Shardlake – a Tudor-era mystery based on CJ Sansom's novels – was cancelled by Disney+ after just one season. Bean, who played Thomas Cromwell in the four-part drama, appeared alongside Arthur Hughes and Anthony Boyle.
Snowpiercer streams on ITVX.
