The Expanse: Amazon saves the show, orders season 4

Posted by Filed under

The Expanse has found a new home and dodged its cancellation, in a piece of news that is bound to thrill the show’s fans. A couple of weeks after Syfy cancelled their acclaimed series, Amazon has swooped in to pick up The Expanse and set season 4 into motion.

Amazon chief Jeff Bezos broke the news at the National Space Society’s International Space Development Conference in Los Angeles, where he was taking part in a Q&A session. The Expanse cast and crew were present at the event, having hosted a panel of their own shortly before.

Here’s what Bezos said, followed by a video of him saying it:

“I was talking to the cast half an hour ago, before the break for dinner started. I was telling them that we are working hard at Amazon to save The Expanse but it wasn’t a done deal yet. During dinner, ten minutes ago, I just got word that The Expanse is saved. The show is extraordinary and these guys are unbelievably talented.”

After the whooping and cheering subsided, Bezos stressed that The Expanse “will be a Prime Original in the coming seasons.”

The Expanse season 3 continues to air on Syfy, but after that, the show will move to Amazon. Exciting times!

More as we hear it.
