Snowpiercer TV series gets back on track with Orphan Black's showrunner
The new TV adaptation of Bong Joon-Ho’s Snowpiercer, a thrilling and baby-devouring movie-length metaphor for capitalism, jumped the tracks almost immediately after being given a series order by TNT last month. Barely a week had gone by before it was announced that showrunner Josh Friedman has parted ways with the channel over “creative differences” regarding the upcoming show. So far, so diplomatic—until Friedman threw some coal in the furnace and set fire to that story on Twitter, saying he’d been fired because TNT didn’t think he would be accommodating enough to their demands.
