(Rafy / Syfy)
It’s official. Amazon has picked up the fourth season of The Expanse. Cancelled by Syfy on May 10th — the science-fiction drama has now been saved. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced the season four renewal, during a panel with the cast and crew at the National Space Society in Los Angeles. On May 21st, word broke that the online giant was poised to ride to the rescue. Now the deed is done.
A Syfy drama, based on the science-fiction novels by James S. A. Corey (the pen name for authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck), The Expanse stars Steven Strait, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Dominique Tipper, Cas Anvar, Wes Chatham, Shawn Doyle, 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.

What do you think? Are you a fan of The Expanse TV show? Will you follow it to Amazon for the fourth season?
Why is Syfy not airing this show? Makes no sense. Who makes these decisions?
Most “realistic” s.f.. This will be our future… or some of it. Big companies will rule the space… until alien corporations find us…and make us work for them. Have you ever thought our first contact with aliens will be with their Corporations?
Great series, period!!
Love the show… I am in!!!
