And I certainly hope we get to do it," Shankar added. It would be a remarkable thing to complete the whole book series that way. "I'm certainly not betraying any confidence to say that Ty, Daniel and I – speaking for ourselves – would love to do it. That "appetite" and "desire" is certainly present still in the people who worked on this show from behind the scenes: "I think from the standpoint of just the pure creative, I think what we tried to do at least was come to a satisfying conclusion of a huge chunk of the story while leaving the door open for more if the appetite and the desire is there." Right now, the future really lies with Alcon Television, which is the studio that makes the show, and Amazon, if there is in some form, an appetite for more. "We love the show and we love making the show. "This has been such a delightful experience," Shankar said after the "final" episode aired (via EW). 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. It's one of the many big games hitting in 2023."That was a decision between Amazon and Alcon Television. Telltale Games and Deck Nine are collaborating on The Expanse: The Telltale Series, a new adventure game that acts as a prequel to the TV series. The Expanse franchise is finding new life in other areas, as well. Update: Boom has also launched a Kickstarter campaign for The Expanse: Dragon Tooth, which features variant editions of the comic and other collectibles not being offered at retail. The Expanse: Dragon Tooth #1 will hit stores in April 2023. Andy has prepared a brilliant story faithful to the series, full of plot twists, intrigue, humanity, and a lot of heart. I hope you enjoy this comic as much as Andy and I are enjoying working on it. “With what's happening nowadays, it's an important message to get across. And how only by getting rid of grudges and prejudices can we forge ahead as a society,” said Rubine. How, unfortunately, we constantly repeat the same mistakes of the past. But it is also an existential portrait of the course of humanity. The Expanse is a spectacular sci-fi story, authentic, and superbly done. “It is a real honor for me to participate in this project. "Suit up and strap in - we’re gonna be pulling some high-g maneuvers!" "It’s not often you get to work on something you already love with your whole heart, and everyone who knows me knows how passionate I am about The Expanse," said Diggle in Boom's press release. Interestingly, the comic also seems aimed directly at fans of the novels, as it's set in the lengthy time gap separating Book 6, Babylon's Ashes, and Book 7, Persepolis Rising. Gist (Star Wars) Salvador Larroca (Doctor Doom).Īs mentioned, Dragon Tooth is set after the events of the show's finale, meaning it'll reveal the fates of many characters and answer some of the lingering questions not addressed in Season 6.
