The Expanse TV Thread

Love this show and books so much. Best sci-fi show on TV and the best since Battlestar Galactica.

Season 1 took a few episodes to get into, I think I gave up on it twice, but it has gone from strength to strength since.

This year, the battle for humanity will hold a world captive. The Expanse returns December 16th.

It looks spectacular. The FX budget appears a bit better too, as those space shots were particularly impressive. Having read book 5 anyone who thought season 4 was a bit "flat" should have no worries about what's coming

Looking forward to it. Unfortunately, Amazon are taking a leaf out of "The Boys" and will be airing this weekly, from December 16th and not doing them all at once. So we'll be drip-fed them up until February.

I'm fine with that, means there's 2 months less wait for Season 6

I prefer weekly episodes tbh

I don't know, there's so much content released every month, all in one go, the way to stand out may be to revert to the old fashioned weekly schedule. Otherwise, it just gets lost in the Churn (to use a phrase from Amos). It obviously worked with The Boys if Amazon are doing it again.

 

[David76]

So apparently Season 6 will be the last. Given each season has charted 1 book, and it's a 9 book series, we could be facing a super-compressed final run
