Great news for fans of one of the strongest science fiction shows on TV — The Expanse season 6 arrives on Amazon Prime this December

The announcement came at New York Comic Con (NYCC), along with a teaser trailer and several images (some of which we’ve used above). Sadly, this will be the final season (and only six episodes) in this segment of the larger Expanse story, and it arrives on Amazon Prime on December 10.

The first episode of Season Six will premiere on December 10, with new episodes available each Friday following, culminating in an epic series finale episode on January 14, 2022. The six-episode season of the Amazon Original series will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world, and is produced by Alcon Television Group.

The Expanse picks up with the solar system at war, as Marco Inaros and his Free Navy continue to launch devastating asteroid attacks on Earth and Mars. As the tensions of war and shared loss threaten to pull the crew of the Rocinante apart, Chrisjen Avasarala makes a bold move and sends former Martian Marine Bobbie Draper on a secret mission that could turn the tide of the conflict. Meanwhile, in the Belt, Drummer and what’s left of her family are on the run after betraying Marco. And on a distant planet beyond the Rings, a new power begins to rise.

The series stars Steven Strait, Dominique Tipper, Wes Chatham, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Cara Gee, Frankie Adams, Keon Alexander, Nadine Nicole, and Jasai Chase Owens.

The Expanse season 6 teaser trailer is available now, and we expect more in the next few weeks. Seasons 1-5 are still available on Amazon Prime.
