We have known for a while that legendary actor Sean Bean is joining Netflix and TNT's Snowpiercer for it's second season (and probably dying by the end of it), and it's also been a few months since we found out who he is playing.

But now we've got a good look at what he looks like thanks to some brand new stills. Unsurprisingly, he looks a lot like Sean Bean, but quite dapper in both his jacket and waistcoat.

As we learned from the end of season 1, Snowpiercer isn't the only train carrying the remnants of humanity, and the other train, Big Alice, has finally caught up thanks to all the infighting slowing the 'piercer down.

Leading Big Alice is none other than Sean Bean's character Mr Wilford, who is not dead as previously announced.

Wilford is the creator of Snowpiercer, and he's here to take back what he believes is rightfully his. He's also got Melanie Cavill's (Jennfer Connelly) daughter Alexandra (Rowan Blanchard) in tow.

If that's not an enticing season 2 set up, we don't know what is.

Showrunner Graeme Mason has told Entertainment Weekly that the cast and crew are finishing up season 2 production for a winter release, and teased that Bean's character will be "dastardly fun" and has gotten into Alexandra's head to get her around to his twisted way of thinking.

Snowpiercer season 1 is available to watch on Netflix in the UK. The series airs on TNT in the US, with season 2 planned for later this year.
