In its second season, TNT’s Snowpiercer introduced Sean Bean as Mr. Wilford. The character had been talked about throughout the first season, with one big twist being that Melanie Cavill (Jennifer Connelly) had been impersonating Wilford in order to influence decisions on the train. As the season went along, it seemed as if Wilford had died shortly after Snowpiercer’s departure seven years before, but by the end of the first season we discovered that not only was that untrue, but Wilford was alive on board another train, which was also carrying Melanie’s presumed-dead daughter Alexandra.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has provided ComicBook with an exclusive clip from the “behind the scenes” documentary on Snowpiercer: The Complete Second Season, out today on DVD and Blu-ray. 

“I can just say that Sean Bean’s Wilford is dastardly and fun and very well-dressed,” Manson said back in December. “The thing that we don’t know at the beginning of the season is what Wilford has done to [Alexandra’s] mind.”

At the end of season one, 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.
