“The Expanse” Renewed For Final Season

[Koby]

Amazon has renewed the highly acclaimed sci-fi drama “The Expanse” for a sixth and final season. The order comes in just a few weeks ahead of the show’s fifth season premiere on December 16th.

 

 

The series is based on James S. A. Corey’s novel series which has a ninth entry on the way in 2021. The seventh book sees a time jump of thirty years and so a sixth season based on the sixth book seems a natural disembarkation point.

 

The series aired its first three seasons on Syfy with the cable network cancelling it. Then Amazon went into talks and picked up the series with the fourth season released late last year.

 

The show stars the likes of Steven Strait, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Dominique Tipper, Cas Anvar, Wes Chatham and Frankie Adams. All will return except Anvar following his facing numerous sexual misconduct allegations during the summer.

 

Showrunner Naren Shankar is also back for the last batch of episodes which will begin production in January.

I dropped out of this series far too early, now that it's almost ending now's a good time to catch up I guess.

Same, I been meaning to watch season 4 for so long that season 5 already finished!

Seasons 1-3 made the universe feel really big, but then season 4 limited the show to practically one planet the entire season, and then season 5 just seemed like it spent the entire time on a ship that never went anywhere while focusing on Naomi whom I feel is the least liked character of the bunch. I hope the final season does something about this.
