The Expanse season 5 confirmed


The Expanse season 4 has not yet premiered. That didn’t stop Amazon Prime from announcing The Expanse season 5.

Head of Amazon Studios Jennifer Salke made the announcement during Amazon’s Summer 2019 TCA press tour appearance. The news of The Expanse season 5 came alongside a renewal for Carnival Row season 2, a Jack Ryan season 2 trailer, and the announcing of The Lord of the Ring‘s creative team.

The Expanse season 5 does not have a release date yet. The Expanse season 4, however, does. Season 4, the first instalment of the show to premiere exclusively on Amazon Prime, will premiere on 13 December. Season 4 will bring the crew of the Rocinante to new worlds beyond the Ring Gate. Per Amazon’s description:

“Humanity has been given access to thousands of Earth-like planets which has created a land rush and furthered tensions between the opposing nations of Earth, Mars and the Belt. Ilus is the first of these planets, one rich with natural resources but also marked by the ruins of a long dead alien civilization. While Earthers, Martians and Belters maneuver to colonise Ilus and its natural resources, these early explorers don’t understand this new world and are unaware of the larger dangers that await them.”

Syfy declined to pick up The Expanse following its third season, despite the show’s respectable ratings and rapid fan base. Amazon swept in to rescue The Expanse for season 4 with the option for more seasons beyond that. And now here we are: beyond that.

The Expanse was developed by Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby and is based on a book series of the same name by James S.A. Corey. The series takes place in a future in which humanity has colonized the solar system. The story follows a band of antiheroes as they travel through the galaxy and get swept up in a political conspiracy that threatens a long-standing peace.

Stay tuned for more The Expanse Season 5 news as it arrives.
