It would not be a huge surprise if we got more stories from the universe at some point in the future. So we’re not going to end up in a Deadwood situation, with a cliffhanger ending that has to be resolved in a TV movie.īut The Expanse has been a hit with both audiences and critics alike, with seasons 3, 4 and 5 still rocking a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes (opens in new tab). ![]() The conclusion of Babylon’s Ashes was a turning point for the series, and events unfold in such a way that the show can (and hopefully will) offer a satisfying conclusion to all the major plot threads. If Season 6 really is the end for The Expanse, it wouldn’t be the worst way to go. ![]() ![]() Expanse movies wouldn’t be such a terrible way to reinvigorate that push. Certainly not in the same league as Netflix. Plus, while Amazon has picked up a bunch of theatrical releases that were affected by the pandemic, there aren’t a great many “made-for Prime” movies out there. After all, if Amazon can debut a would-be blockbuster like The Tomorrow War, it could go all in and greenlight an Expanse movie (or movies). Heck, I’d settle for a streaming-only movie instead. Then again, who says it would have to be a TV series? I wouldn’t mind being able to see an Expanse movie, and space action generally looks pretty incredible on the big screen. However, it would mean being able to finish the whole saga, of a sort, and offer a real conclusion the way The Expanse’s creators envisioned. No doubt some changes would have to be made, and new characters introduced to replace the outgoing Rocinante crew. Amazon has already shown it’s not against this course of action, since The Boys already has two different spin-offs in development. And it means we could (hopefully) keep the same cast fans know and love around for a few more years - if they’re willing.Īlternatively, there’s always room for spin-offs. It would make Amazon look a little silly for declaring season six would be the last, but it’s not as though fans will be that outraged. The only question is, what would more Expanse look like? The most logical option would be to jump in and develop the stories as seasons seven to nine. What form would Expanse 2.0 (or Expanse season 7? take? Needless to say, Cara’s story is very important - even if it does only seem to be a confusing addition to the current arc. So huge that I can’t really go into much detail without revealing any possible spoilers. Mysteries that the shows have only touched upon, like the mysterious beings that live inside the ring gates, and are only visible to James Holden.Īnd, of course, Laconia plays a huge role in the final three books. That being said, there are still three books to adapt, and those books cover the mysteries of The Expanse universe in much greater detail. Babylon’s Ashes ended in such a way that the show can end there, offering solid conclusions to the ongoing plot without leaving any significant cliffhangers. Without spoiling what’s likely to come in the finale, it makes a little sense that The Expanse, in its current form, would end here. ![]() It’s not been completely faithful, for one reason or another, but in general the show has done a good job of condensing the first six books (and relevant novellas) and adapting them for the small screen. The Expanse has been pretty good at adapting its source material. Which is why I suspect that this isn't actually the end. In other words, The Expanse is already setting up future stories, even if the series itself is coming to an end. Without spoiling anything, Cara does become very important later on, and these snippets of her life on Laconia are absolutely crucial to that.
