Premiering on January 24 amid huge anticipation, Season 3 of 'Snowpiercer' has slowly been chugging towards New Eden, a warm and ideal spot for human civilization to restart. The latest season of the TNT drama kicked off with the Resistance, led by Andre Layton, scouting locations that could support Melanie Cavill's theories.

A turn of events results in the Resistance finding out Big Alice's whereabouts and Layton seizes the opportunity, overthrowing Mr Wilford and bringing order to the train. The previous episode of 'Snowpiercer' Season 3, titled 'A New Life,' saw the train welcome a new passenger while witnessing the first mutiny after Wilford's dethronement. With Zarah facing complications during childbirth and the train being ravaged by fires and explosions, Episode 5 of 'Snowpiercer' was an engrossing watch that kept fans guessing throughout. As the show crosses its mid-season mark, let's take a look at the episode count for 'Snowpiercer' Season 3, but before we get there here's the synopsis for the upcoming episode: "As the bomber is revealed, Layton comes to terms with his past decisions before making an irreversible call."

How many episodes does 'Snowpiercer' Season 3 have?

Season 3 of 'Snowpiercer' will have 10 episodes. This might come as a no-brainer to those familiar with the post-apocalyptic drama's pattern, as the previous seasons consisted of the same number of episodes. In line with previous seasons, we can also expect the finale to be a two-parter, split over the last two episodes. However, the air dates are yet to be revealed. 

What can we expect from the second half of 'Snowpiercer' Season 3?

With Episode 5 ending with a failed attempt on Layton's life, we can expect things to get a lot more riskier for him. We also saw Audrey try her best to meet Mr Wilford, hoping to get him back on his feet and rule over the train again, so that could be a trajectory that the second half takes. Given that Jennifer Connelly is still a part of the cast and has been featured in the promotional material, we could expect to see her as Season 3 of 'Snowpiercer' nears its end.

'Snowpiercer' airs Mondays at 9 pm ET on TNT.
