It's been a very stressful couple of weeks for fans of The Expanse, one of the best sci-fi shows currently on television. In a very shocking and surprising move, Syfy canceled its critically acclaimed hit series after three seasons (the third season is currently airing). This cancellation resulted in a dedicated and passionate campaign by fans to rescue the show, including fan petitions and even flying a "Save the Expanse" banner over the Amazon Studios headquarters in Santa Monica. 


After a dedicated campaign by fans and producers Alcon Television Group, Amazon has officially rescued the show and renewed it for a fourth season on Amazon Prime. Earlier today, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced that The Expanse had been saved while standing next to the show's cast at the International Space Development Conference.

For some, this announcement is not too surprising as it had been looking for the past few days like Amazon would rescue the show, especially since Jeff Bezos is a major fan of The Expanse and the books on which the show is based. Alcon Entertainment co-founders co-CEOs Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson had the following to say about Amazon rescuing their series:

We couldn’t be more excited that The Expanse is going to continue on Amazon Prime! We are deeply grateful that Jeff Bezos, [new Amazon Studios head] Jen Salke, and their team at Amazon have shown such faith in our show. We also want to thank Laura Lancaster, head of Alcon Television for her tireless efforts. We are fully aware that this wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for the staggering outpouring of support from the most creative, hardest working sci-fi fans around the world. From reddit campaigns to airplanes, we say thank you. It worked!

Are you a fan of the show that has been waiting for news of the show's rescue? Be sure to share your thoughts below on this fantastic news. The rest of season 3 of The Expanse airs on Syfy at 9 pm EST and will wrap in June.

Sweet, now if only they released their original stuff on Blu Ray, pretty sure none of their original content has been released, and I would love to buy The Tick

Must be nice to be rich enough to just buy your favourite show and order a new season.

But I'm not gonna complain, because the Expanse really is one of the best shows on TV and I am thrilled that there will be a season 4. So, yay for Jeff Bezos (btw check you article - you spell his name wrong throughout).

@Clundgren - lol, Bozos. Thanks!

@Kevwebsz - Well, ten years ago I would have said Firefly, for sure, but that ship has sailed. Too bad we didn't have Bezos back then!

@CurlyBill - Seen him in "1922" yesterday. Pretty damn great.

@Kevwebsz - I'm a big Stephen King fan so I really enjoyed 1922 and Jane was good in that and also Boogie nights, he's underrated.

Well, that's one show saved this year. And one that is at the tops of my list of shows worth saving this year. So I am going to round this up to a victory for fans.

@ScionStorm - Brooklyn Nine-Nine was also saved too! Yay fans.

I'm gonna give this show a try, after I finish M*A*S*H. I'll give any show a chance as long as it's good!

@bobevanz - M*A*S*H has a very depressing theme of you listen to the version with lyrics.

I don't understand calling it a "hit show" if it got canned. That's not a hit.

@BackwardGalaxy - Especially given the syfy channels low ratings threshold.

@BackwardGalaxy -

The Expanse is praised by fans and critics as being the best sci-fi show in years.
ScionStorm
ScionStorm - 5/27/2018, 8:21 PM
@BackwardGalaxy - It only got canceled because of the way the deal with Alcom which produces The Expanse on it's own is was set up. Syfy only gets rights to the first airing of each episode in episode order(not allowed to air episodes out of order or reruns).

Big Props to Amazon for stepping up and doing the right thing for once. I was hoping Netflix would pick it up but it's cool that we're getting a fourth season.

[frick] Syfy. Showing again and again how much of a misnomer the name of the network really is. Those twats don't know their assholes from their elbows anymore. The Expanse is the best space-opera, hell possibly even sci-fi show, since the BSG remake. I'm beyond stoked it is getting picked up by Amazon.

Great. I wonder why Amazon didn't order that Oasis pilot to series given how well received it was last year.

@Nightmare - same. In the middle of watching this. So good.
