The Expanse is a TV series based on the book series of the same name by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck (under the pseudonym James S.A. Corey), who also serve among the show's producers and writers. The series is produced by Alcon Entertainment and premiered online through several VOD services on November 23, 2015[1], and premiered on Syfy in the United States, and Space in Canada[2] on December 14, and 15, 2015. The series ran for 3 season under Syfy and then was picked up by Amazon starting with Season 4 on May 26, 2018.[3] It was released on Amazon's Prime Video service and was marketed as an "Amazon Original" series.[4] The fourth season was released on December 13, 2019,[5] and consisted of ten episodes, and, unlike previous seasons, was released all at once.[6]

Sean Daniel and Jason Brown of the Sean Daniel Company developed the original pitch with Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby. Naren Shankar (mostly known for similar work on CSI) is the show runner. The project has been described by some media outlets as “Game of Thrones in space.”[7][8]
