The Expanse is renewed for a sixth and final season

Amazon Studios has set an end date for the brilliant series, The Expanse. The popular sci-fi drama has received an early renewal for season 6, which will be the last.

News of the Season 6 renewal comes three weeks before the 16 December season 5 debut on Prime Video. It’s rumoured that the sixth season is scheduled to begin production on 20 January, with the target start date subject to change due to the pandemic.

The cast, led by Steven Strait, and long time Expanse showrunner Naren Shankar will be back for the final season. Cas Anvar will not be returning due to several sexual misconduct allegations during the summer.




The Expanse, based on James SA Corey’s best-selling novels, was originally picked up by Syfy, where it aired for three seasons. Following its cancellation in 2018, the show’s army of passionate fans launched a huge Save Our Show campaign, which helped seal the deal at Amazon. The space drama’s fourth season was released globally as an Amazon Original Series in December 2019.

If you haven’t watched the Expanse you should jump on board. It’s an amazing ride. The Expanse is a high-action, sci-fi adventure that explores the depth of humanity against the far-spanning reaches of the known universe. It is set in the future where humanity has colonised the solar system and the people of Earth, Mars and the Asteroid Belt have long been in opposition with one another. When the crew of the Rocinante uncovers an ancient alien technology, a vast conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will bring the solar system to the brink of war.

“From the moment we committed to bringing this show to life up until this final season, we have worked tirelessly to honour the vision of the writers,” said Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson, executive producers of The Expanse. “We have prided ourselves on having one of the most diverse casts on television and giving a platform to stories that matter. A special thanks to Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, the writers of both the books and series and to Naren Shankar, the series showrunner and executive producer. It continues to be an honour and privilege to work with this team. We also would like to thank Amazon for their continuing support to help us tell this story in its fullest and to bring The Expanse to a global audience.”




“The dedication and artistry of everyone who helps bring The Expanse to the screen is incredible,” said Shankar, who has served as executive producer/showrunners on all seasons. “Our fans are awesome, and we cannot wait to get rolling on Season 6.”

The fifth season of The Expanse will launch on 16 December with three episodes. After that, one new episode will be released weekly up to 3 February.
