It's back! The long-awaited fourth season of The Expanse returns on its new network, Amazon Prime.
Amazon Prime has released the first teaser for the upcoming fourth season of the beloved science fiction series, The Expanse.
The Expanse is based on a series of novels by James S.A. Corey (the pen name for writing team Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck), exploring interplanetary tensions that are breaking out all over a solar system long since colonized by humans—mostly between Earthers, Martians, and "Belters." Part mystery, part political thriller, part classic space opera, The Expanse has earned almost nothing but praise from critics and its devoted fans alike, not just for its gripping storytelling, but also its excellent use of accurate physics. (Wired's Rhett Allain has explored the physics of a spinning spacecraft and an accelerating spacecraft, among other topics.) The third season earned a rare 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes (seasons one and two earned 76% and 96%, respectively).
So it was something of a shock when SyFy cancelled the series after just three seasons, citing "restrictive distribution arrangements," specifically, just first-run linear rights in the US. Per Deadline Hollywood, "That puts an extraordinary amount of emphasis on live, linear viewing, which is inherently challenging for sci-fi/genre series that tend to draw the lion’s share of their audiences from digital/streaming."
