The Expanse
Amazon has renewed The Expanse for a sixth and final season.
Production starts next year in Toronto.
Target filming dates: January 20th to April 26th, 2021.
The Expanse is set in the future where humanity has colonized 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.
Season 5, based on Nemesis Games, sees the emergence of Belter Marco Inaros as a major threat and the main crew splitting up.

From the moment we committed to bringing this show to life up until this final season, we have worked tirelessly to honor the vision of the writers. 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 honor 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. – EPs Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson statement.
