Lead actor Daveed Diggs alongside Hebru Brantley (artist), Hilton George (The Blerd Con), Karama Horne (The Blerd Gurl) and Morgan DeBaun (Blavity, Inc.) discuss what it means to be a Blerd, parallels between the show and today's society, political and social unrest, and more on the "Train of Thought" Snowpiercer Panel, moderated by Ros Gold-Onwude.
At the end of season one of Snowpiercer, the survivors of the revolution are trying to pick up the pieces and maintain a fragile peace amongst the now merged classes with Layton (Daveed Diggs) emerging as the train’s leader. Discovering Mr. Wilford (Sean Bean) is alive and headed their way on a rival train, Melanie (Jennifer Connelly) risks going outside to prevent him from invading Snowpiercer. While she’s out there, it’s revealed that Alexandra (Rowan Blanchard), Melanie’s daughter, who she thought had died, is alive and has become Wilford’s dedicated protegee. In season two, an entirely new power struggle emerges, causing a dangerous rift as people are divided between their loyalty to Layton and to Mr. Wilford, who has a new train, new technology and a game plan that keeps everyone guessing. While Layton battles Wilford for the soul of Snowpiercer, Melanie leads the charge on a shocking new discovery that could change the fate of humanity.
