Ahead of the show’s fourth season premiere, The Amazon sci-fi series The Expanse has been renewed for a fifth season, as the series took to Twitter to announce the news over the weekend.
The Expanse is based on the popular science fiction novels by James S. A. Corey and was co-created and written by Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, who received an Oscar nomination for their screenplay Children of Men.
The series unfolds across a colonized galaxy 200 years in the future, when two strangers become unwittingly swept up in a vast conspiracy.
Rosa Gilmore (The Handmaid’s Tale), Keon Alexander (Tyrant), Jess Salgueiro (Mouthpiece) and Burn Gorman (Pacific Rim) join the cast this season.
