    So disappointed, thought that it was a new season when I saw this pop up on Amazon. Didn't twig I'd already seen it till the second episode. Doh!

    This is a seriously good series.

    I've now just completed the first three seasons on Amazon Prime and hopefully will be able to return in the autumn to check out series four ☺

    I'm currently dithering on whether to read James S A Corey's original books. (I see that Corey is a pen name for twin authors.)

    Yes. Filming of season four finished in Feb. I think that I saw somewhere.

    After being cancelled, Amazon has sponsored season four.
    One source of details:
    https://screenrant.com/expanse-seaso...-story-amazon/

    I am curious to know, if they release it all at once. But given the nature of Amazon Prime, I suspect they will spread it over a few months.

    Just started reading Leviathan Wakes, after buying the series for my Kindle.

    I spent a very pleasant afternoon in my local - tucked away in the corner with a few pints of Doom Bar.

    Amazing show! It has some decent character development too. Miller is awesome, and Amos has definitely become more so as the seasons go on! I'm looking forward to the next season - whenever that might be...

    Also,apparently the actor who plays Alex,has gotten in trouble,so it makes me wonder whether the character will be recast.

    Book nine isn't coming until next year, so I'm glad we'll have something to look forward to a little sooner.

    Re: The Expanse - best hard sci fi show in years!!

    Definately an amazing show. Reminds me a little of Mass Effect one for me in terms of atmosphere. I think the 1st season might put many off with the whole detective thing, i wasnt sure at first but SO glad i stuck with it. Plot explodes thereafter.
