Does this mean that there's at least some scope for The Expanse to pull off another miracle and return again for a seventh season?Ĭast member Dominique Tipper hinted at exactly this when she joined castmates Steven Strait and Wes Chatham on EW Live where she said: "Look, this is the end of the TV show on Amazon, so we'll just have to see what happens."Ĭrucially, The Expanse showrunner Naren Shankar would also love to make a seventh season happen. ![]() While it's good that season six naturally capped the story off without it feeling too forced or sudden, there's still so much source material left to cover in the books. This is not something that we're having to scramble for." "We've been talking about what the shape of the show could be, and this six- season arc was always one of the options that was on the table. "This is a conversation we've been having since we were canceled the first time," added Abraham. I think one of the things that is sort of an outmoded idea is the idea of being canceled." "It'll feel like a satisfying end to the story we've been building over the first five seasons. "We have what we think is a very natural pause point for the story after season six," Franck explained during a press event. That's because book seven, Persepolis Rising, takes place after a 30-year time jump, which means a potential seventh season would have to use CGI and makeup to age up each character – or even recast them completely, à la The Crown.īack when the cancellation was announced in 2020, writers Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck referred to the show's end as a "pause" then too (via Polygon): Uh, I don’t think we would have been able to tell the season in any less than six."Īs disappointing as this cancellation is, fans have taken comfort in knowing that there is at least a natural ending point to the climax of book six, which is where season six ends as well. It’s always a negotiation to some extent. It came down to making six episodes of it. I mean, you always kind of agree on how much money you’re going to commit to the production of the show.

"She came and read for it, and then it was easy," Abraham shares. Of course, things changed once Frankie Adams, a veteran of the New Zealand prime-time soap opera Shortland Street, came in and auditioned. Cast Of The Expanse Season 7 If there is a Season 7 of it, we hope to see all of our favorite characters in it, just like in the previous seasons. "We had to go to Hawaii, and we had to go to New Zealand, we had to really push to get the right people to read for it." "It wasn't just LA, New York, see who you get," Abraham says. That meant looking beyond the typical casting agencies and locations, and, in true Expanse fashion, checking out lesser-explored areas of the show-business world.

"Everybody else was coming in and looking gruff and mean and looking for a fight. "Wes had actually read the novella that has Amos' backstory, and loved the character, and understood the character coming in," Abraham tells Looper. Wes Chatham, who ultimately landed the part of Amos in The Expanse, knew all of that, Abraham says. Amos can be fiercely protective, too, which could be chalked up to his rough upbringing, a focal point of The Expanse's fifth season.
