Would you believe if we say Amazon Prime Video has renewed your favorite show for two seasons all together?

Fans are more than excited to know more about both the upcoming installments. Hence, here we have everything you need to know.
SyFy’s brilliant yet under-watched series won hearts with its debut season. The story, based on James S. A. Corey’s novels is one of its kind. Moreover, The Expanse casts a stellar set of actors, including Steven Strait, Dominique Tipper, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Wes Chatham, Cas Anvar, and Frankie Adams. The futuristic plotline appeals to a large number of viewers around the globe.
Cancellation By SyFy
The Expanse debuted on the television back in 2015. With its very first season, it managed to win plenty of awards alongside heavy critical acclaim. However, after three long and lovely installments, original broadcaster SyFy dropped the show for further seasons ahead. Fans couldn’t bear the end of their favorite show and began protests over social media.
Over 100,000 people signed for an online petition. Moreover, a crowdfunding campaign paid for an airplane to fly a “#SaveTheExpanse” banner around Amazon Studios demanding the company to pick up the show. Eventually, Amazon Prime happily picked up the series for additional seasons. The news was announced back in May 2019 by Jeff Bezos.
