The Expanse has officially wrapped production on its fourth season. The critically acclaimed sci-fi series will make its debut on Amazon Prime later this year, after having been rescued following Syfy cancelling the series after three seasons. The first three seasons are currently available for streaming on Amazon.

As fans may remember, the third season ended with an epic finale in which James Holden (Steven Strait) saves humanity from itself and the Ring, leading to 1300 other ring portals appearing to humanity. As Holden then notes, this newfound  access to a wealth of potential habitable systems will lead to "another blood-soaked gold rush" as mankind wages a new war over resources, one which may destabilize Earth, Mars, and the Belt.

The upcoming season will adapt the fourth of The Expanse novels, Cibola Burn, which largely took place on Ilus. This planet, which resides in one of the new inhabitable systems, has previously been described as "the battleground of new settlers, security forces and the protomolecule in The Expanse Season 4." 

With filming on Season 4 officially wrapped, we now have some cast announcements to share, including a very familiar face joining the series as an antagonist, as well as other behind-the-scenes pictures celebrating the end of filming.  


So, to take a look at new cast members joining The Expanse for Season 4, as well as other behind-the-scenes pictures, hit the VIEW LIST (ONE PAGE) button below!


Burn Gorman


The biggest cast announcement, Burn Gorman (Torchwood, Pacific Rim, Game of Thrones) will portray Adolphus Murtry, a ruthless and cold-blooded individual who uses force of arms to assume command of the settlement First Landing and enact martial law. 

Lyndie Greenwood


Lyndie Greenwood (Sleepy Hollow, Star, SWAT) will be portraying Dr. Elvi Okoye, a biologist who is interested in studying samples from New Terra in order to try to determine the biological make-up of the newfound planet. 

Jess Salgueiro


Jess Salguiero (Channel Zero, The Strain, The Boys) will appear in an undisclosed role, but it is likely that it will be a somewhat prominent character since Jess revealed she has been working on Season 4 for the past four months. She is extremely excited about her character and the experience she had working on the show. 

Lily Gao


No word on who Lily Gao is portraying, but she has previously starred in Kin and Through Black Spruce. At the very least, we know she will be sharing scenes with Shohreh Aghdashloo (Chrisjen Avasarala).

@HeavyMetal4Life - Man that second gif of all the gates. Plot-wise I'm interested in what all this will lead to, but holy shit halfway through season 3 it felt like the show changed. It got REAL dumb.

Despite that though I love the details of what life in space would be like in this series. One of my all time favorite sci-fi series.

@kakinurmawth - I'm really excited for them to be exploring new worlds.

I will say, there was a big whiplash in season 3 after the first half ended (the first half was balls to the wall awesome). The first two episodes of the second half, especially the first one with the slingshot guy, I found pretty boring. But after that, I thought the rest was awesome and the last several episodes were crazy as hell.

@HeavyMetal4Life - yeah I can't wait to see the mystery unfold with the proto molecule and what's up with Holden's visions.

@kakinurmawth - same, those visions of his were awesome. Can't wait to see what's out there.

@TheLight - Lol, we need to send Henry in to "set" WB straight about some of their upcoming DC films like Birds of Prey (and the crazy awesome totally rad kids bop adventure of one Harley Quinn).

Burn Gorman, I hated his character on Torchwood. He was such an ass to Tosh, and she was such a cutie.
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 2/9/2019, 9:42 AM
@Soos - they are making a Torchwood movie
BarrettWallace2
BarrettWallace2 - 2/9/2019, 9:44 AM
@HeavyMetal4Life - Source please, source please. Oh please let this be true

BarrettWallace2 - 2/9/2019, 9:47 AM
@Soos - That is exactly right. would it be weird to say that I want more Suzie?
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 2/9/2019, 9:49 AM
@Soos @BarrettWallace2- my bad guys, I had a brain fart and mixed up Deadwood with Torchwood. Sorry!!! I do know John Barrowman keeps trying to continue Torchwood.

Super stoked, such a great show. Must be nice to be so rich when one of your favorite shows gets canceled, you just pick it up and pay for the renewal yourself.
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 2/9/2019, 9:53 AM
@BassMan - pretty much. Though having the most ambitious petition campaign ever for reviving a series certainly helps... Plus Bezos needed a crown jewel for their Prime streaming service.
BassMan
BassMan - 2/9/2019, 10:17 AM
@HeavyMetal4Life - For sure, although many great shows with revival petitions don't succeed. Very happy this one did, and yeah... A very shiny crown jewel indeed :-)

Thank goodness it's not the other way around...

@Forthas - oh cool, thx! I've actually got a James Cameron article in progress, I'll incorporate this in.

@HeavyMetal4Life - No problem!
Forthas
Forthas - 2/9/2019, 11:06 AM
@Soos - Oddly... I can kind of see it also. He would not be my first choice...but I think Affleck was a worse choice!
HubbleFunk
HubbleFunk - 2/9/2019, 11:22 AM
@Forthas - He's really come into his own as an actor and in my opinion a lot better than Affleck.

@Forthas - who do you want as the next Batman someone who is established or a no name actor, for me it would be Karl Urban
