The Expanse Authors Say the Show Ending With Season Six is Only a "Pause Point," Maybe Not Done?

The Expanse may not actually be “canceled” after season 6. Think of it as more of a pause, say the authors. https://t.co/NmSwIRIs1X pic.twitter.com/m4zj7qEOu1

Last month, Amazon announced that The Expanse was renewed for a sixth and final season. As there will be nine books, this was clearly not acceptable.

So we're getting the first 3 episodes of Season 5 to view from the 16th. The rest will be uploaded weekly. Amazon are feckin' clueless. Luckily I hated Season 4 so no longer invested in the show.

Jut curious, what did you hate about season 4?

Not OP, but if season 3 wasn't so flawless, season 4 would have just been another good season of TV. It was an unremarkable season, and at that point, my standards for the show were much higher.

Well, to be fair season 4 was based mostly on book 4... which takes place entirely on that planet. For the show they had to add scenes/storylines that take place elsewhere. Book 4 is definitely considered the least interesting of the series. But this all means that season five of the show should be better!

It's like they knew I was cancelling after binging it. Welp. That's me not watching, then.
