The Expanse's Unprecedented Triumph Demands an Explosive Season 7!

The Expanse's success in other areas emphasizes the need for a seventh season or a movie continuation. Despite not achieving massive ratings in the sci-fi TV realm, the live-action adaptation of James S.A. Corey's book series received significant critical acclaim and garnered a passionate audience. This prompted Amazon to rescue the show after Syfy's cancellation following season 3. Now, over a year after the conclusion of season 6, there is still hope for The Expanse's continuation.

Although season 6 provided a satisfying conclusion, defeating Marco Inaros and establishing a fragile peace, it left room for further material from James S.A. Corey's remaining books. In particular, season 6 set the stage for the emergence of the Laconian Empire as the next major threat, and continued to hint at the presence of the Dark Gods, who grew increasingly angry throughout the show. Various interviews have confirmed the cast and crew's interest in continuing The Expanse's storyline.

The Expanse: Dragon Tooth Proves Season 7 Needs To Happen (Or A Movie)

Following the events of season 6, The Expanse: Dragon Tooth is a comic book that continues the story within the TV show's continuity and features the familiar cast. The Kickstarter campaign for The Expanse: Dragon Tooth quickly broke a record set by Keanu Reeves' BRZRKR and exceeded all expectations, illustrating the strong demand for more content from The Expanse's TV universe led by Steven Strait, Dominique Tipper, and Wes Chatham. Despite not being an adaptation of Persepolis Rising, the seventh book in the series that could have been the basis for season 7, The Expanse: Dragon Tooth, with its 12-part series, serves as a perfect introduction to further live-action adventures of the Rocinante crew. Considering that Alcon Entertainment, the same company producing the Expanse TV show, holds the adaptation rights, it is possible that another distributor could eventually rescue the franchise, similar to Amazon's previous involvement. The overwhelmingly positive response to The Expanse: Dragon Tooth should provide potential suitors with a significant confidence boost regarding the future potential of the franchise.

Why The Expanse Season 7 Doesn't Have A Time Limit

The continued interest in The Expanse, even after more than a year since the season 6 finale, is a positive sign for the future of the franchise. What makes it even more exciting is that there is no time limit for this future. The Expanse books six and seven are set 30 years apart, and the TV show had plans to adapt this time jump. If The Expanse had been canceled at any other point in the story, there would have been limited opportunities for other media, such as comics, to fill the void. However, because of the significant time jump after book 6, The Expanse can now continue to expand with releases like Dragon Tooth, without interfering with the potential for The Expanse season 7.

These extracurricular projects are expected to keep the audience hungry for more live-action content. Comics and other media can explore the 30-year time gap indefinitely, drawing from the fictional history that has been created. If and when a proper continuation of The Expanse happens, it can seamlessly continue from the corresponding book, ensuring accessibility for both those who followed the comics and those who did not. While the future of The Expanse's franchise may still be uncertain, its recent record-breaking achievements offer promise for what is to come.

The Expanse Is Getting A Prequel Video Game

While The Expanse season 7 seems unlikely, fans of the show can look forward to an exciting addition to its fictional universe. Say hello to The Expanse: A Telltale Series, a Telltale game that serves as a prequel to the TV series. Unlike another TV show or comic book, this game offers a fresh perspective. Launched in 2022, it is now available for pre-order on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and in the Epic Games Store.
