Last year, The Expanse TV show lost some viewers, but it still remained one of the better performing Syfy TV series. Can it bring back some of the original audience in the third season, or will the slide continue? Will The Expanse be cancelled or renewed season four? Stay tuned. **Status update below
A Syfy drama, based on the science-fiction novels by James S. A. Corey (i.e. the pen name for authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck), The Expanse stars Steven Strait, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Dominique Tipper, Cas Anvar, Wes Chatham, and Frankie Adams. The story unfolds 200 years in the future, in a colonized galaxy, when two strangers are caught up in a vast conspiracy. Season three kicks off immediately after the events of the second season finale, with Earth, Mars, and The Belt at war. The quest to discover the secret of the protomolecule intensifies and every decision made risks the survival of the solar system. .
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

This show is fantastic. It would be an absolute tragedy if it did not continue. Its been on one long stride of ‘in its prime’ since the beginning and hasn’t let down at all. Lets keep it alive! Spread the word!
Book series the best SF I have read (out of hundreds) and the show does it justice. Engaging character development even in the context of a huge plot. Special effects great and realistic. Only show I watch on SyFy. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL.
Deeply satisfying and engaging Sci-fi show. Best current one on TV. DO NOT CANCEL!
This is the only show I watch on SyFy. Haven’t been this interested in a sci-fi series since Battlestar Galactica was rebooted several years ago.
Best Sci-Fi ever. Let this show continue and others will see how great it is. It takes time to get the word out! Don’t cancel!
The ONLY show I can watch and wonder where the hour just went. Brilliant, captivating and deeply engaging. If you are not watching this show then you’re missing out|! Renew for another season SYFY!
There is nothing as good out there. I am from Denmark and watching on Netflix.
Please do NOT cancel this show!! It’ll prove it’s worth years from now when people find it!! It will become a sci-fi classic.
Please don’t cancel this show! It’s one of the best series on syfy and stays pretty true to the books. Give it another year and it will find more fans.
True. The Expanse is one of the best sci-fi shows.
Best SF on television. Yes it’s on Syfy. Deal with it.
inb4 idiots who have never watched or cared for the show post here to fansplain us why the show should be cancelled.
Just watched the first ep of Season 3 and it didn’t disappoint me. It looks and sounds great. Great story and one of the best shows on Syfi.
Please renew this for a 4th season.
Just finished streaming season 2 and looking forward to when I can stream season 3. One of the best sci fi shows.
Please watch season 3 “live” if you can. Either via cable broadcast or the Syfy app. Your viewing vote counts and the show’s more likely to be renewed for season 4 if the audience numbers keep going up week to week. I’m sure the decision to renew/cancel will happen before the end of the season, so please make your viewing vote count now.
This is an outstanding show. Yes, it should be renewed for a 4th season.
Expanse must come first!
The only show that fulfills the legacy of BSG and the best SciFi show on TV at the moment.
