EXPANDING YOUR HORIZIONS

FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE AN ETERNITY, The Expanse ceased to exist. In a startling move, the SyFy Channel axed the futuristic science-fiction drama after its third season in 2018. Devastated viewers protested, gathered signatures for an online petition and raised funds for a plane to fly a ‘Save The Expanse’ banner around Amazon Studios.

Well, all that noise worked.

A few weeks later, Amazon Prime swooped in and rescued the critically acclaimed, beloved TV series. In fact, Amazon not only picked it up for another year, but recently greenlit a fifth season as well. On the Toronto set of The Expanse last December, humbled showrunner Naren Shankar praised the dedicated fanbase for the show’s new lease of life.
