The Expanse, set hundreds of years in the future when humans have colonized other planets in the solar system, was canceled after only three seasons due to low ratings. But the show developed a cult following thanks to viewers discovering it on streaming services like Amazon and Netflix.
Fans were aggressive about launching campaigns to save the show, and it seems Amazon ultimately listened to them. Let the countdown to season 4 begin.
