The season 4 trailer for The Expanse has arrived and it begins the show’s new journey on a new platform.
Amazon Prime Video imported the acclaimed franchise after Syfy canceled it after three seasons. Amazon didn’t waste any time grabbing the series, which was said to be a favorite of Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos. Here is the official season 4 synopsis from Amazon:
“The Expanse begins a new chapter for the series with the crew of the Rocinante on a mission from the U.N. to explore new worlds beyond the Ring Gate. Humanity has been given access to thousands of Earth-like planets, which has created a land rush and furthered tensions between the opposing nations of Earth, Mars and the Belt. Ilus is the first of these planets, one rich with natural resources, but also marked by the ruins of a long dead alien civilization. While Earthers, Martians, and Belters maneuver to colonize Ilus and use its natural resources, these early explorers don’t understand this new world and are unaware of the larger dangers that await them.”
The Expanse is based on the novels of James S.A. Corey and developed and scripted by the Academy Award-nominated writing duo Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby. Fergus Ostby, and Naren Shankar are EPs, as do Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson, Laura Lancaster, Sharon Hall, Sean Daniel, Jason Brown, Daniel Abraham, Ty Franck, and Dan Nowak. Shankar serves as showrunner for all seasons.
The Hugo Award-winning series will premiere as an Amazon Prime Original on December 13 with a significant upgrade in visual effects as well. Check out the season 4 key art below.
