INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The Expanse has been around for three seasons now and was Syfy’s big push into creating a blockbuster science-fiction TV show. Big money
did mean, however, that the show would have to attract some big viewing figures
Unfortunately for The Expanse fans, a 25% drop in season two and a further 5% in season three meant that Syfy had no option but to
cancel. There's no such thing as ‘cancellation’ in the age of Netflix and Amazon Prime, though, services that have become the home of
second chances. Although nothing has been signed, it is thought that The Expanse will continue its fourth season on Amazon Prime - a place
where money is seemingly no problem, especially when the boss of the company, Jeff Bezos, is a fan of the James SA Corey's best-selling
books on which The Expanse is based. The show is no stranger to streaming platforms - its previous seasons are currently streaming on
Amazon Prime in the US and on Netflix in the UK, and has made it into TheIndianSubcontinent’s best shows on Netflix list.Prime timeIf The
Expanse does come to Amazon Prime, it will join a roster of big budget shows in production. These include a Lord Of The Rings TV series,
which will follow the exploits of a young Aragon, Utopia (a remake of the superb UK show), a TV version of the movie Hanna and Jonathan
Nolan and Tina Joy’s latest drama The Peripheral.It will also see Amazon Prime wade into similar sci-fi territory as Netflix, which has
been creating a number of movies and shows in sci-fi genre. Just last month, it was revealed that Netflix’s big push for this year and
beyond is scripted sci-fi and fantasy drama. Via Hollywood Reporter
