torreq October 12, 2016 Share October 12, 2016 Netflix has acquired "The Expanse" for global distribution outside of the US, Canada and New Zealand Quote Netflix has acquired Syfy space drama The Expanse as an original series internationally. Season 1 will be available to stream for Netflix members outside of North America and New Zealand beginning November 3, with Season 2 slated for 2017. Legendary Global TV Distribution acquired the international distribution rights to the series from Alcon TV Group in 2014. It premiered on Syfy in the U.S. in summer 2015, and Season 2 is set for premiere in 2017. http://deadline.com/2016/10/space-drama-the-expanse-streaming-netflix-1201834745/ Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/36445-the-expanse-in-the-media/#findComment-2642756

kassygreene January 4, 2017 Share January 4, 2017 I was planning to re-watch season 1 before season 2 started. And it would have worked perfectly as all the episodes were On Demand and on SyFy with an expiration date of December 14. Then only the last five episodes (really six, because #9 was #9 & #10) were available - until December 14. And then at some point in November I noticed that there were no longer any full episodes unless I was willing to pay .... Thanks sooo much GE-Universal.

Danny Franks January 4, 2017 Share January 4, 2017 The Expanse is on Netflix in the UK. I've got it on Blu-ray anyway, but still watched it all again in the last couple of weeks. I was happier with the scenes of Eros, post-lockdown, this time. I think my expectations were just too high, when I first watched. Can't wait for the second season, which should be at a much faster pace than season one. That trailer looks amazing. I love the highlighting of intra-human conflict, which isn't something that's really been big in sci-fi. And Bobbie looks badass.

Haleth January 4, 2017 Share January 4, 2017 (edited) Over the holidays I enrolled in Amazon Prime for shipping, then discovered they have The Expanse available on video. You can get a 30 day trial subscription then cancel before the trial is up. (Incidentally, the also have Humans which is another I was looking for.) I'm half way through season 1 again and am enjoying it more this time. Can't wait for season 2 and Bobbie! I smh about the trailers when they say it's a cross between Battlestar Gallactica (ok) and Game of Thrones. Seriously? Only in the very broad sense that it features a number of factions in conflict. Other than that it is nothing like GoT. Edited January 4, 2017 by Haleth 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/36445-the-expanse-in-the-media/#findComment-2873899

Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham have said that they planned for the series to last nine books, and I don't think anything has changed with that. It seems like they had the whole series planned out in advance, and have been able to hit each beat they intended, without being dragged off course. The opposite of what George RR Martin has done. Book seven is due out this summer, I believe. And I'm fully confident that book nine will be released in 2019, as they've kept to their schedule of one book a year thus far. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/36445-the-expanse-in-the-media/#findComment-3003714

Danny Franks March 19, 2017 Share March 19, 2017 SyFy have driven their brand into the dirt over the last decade or so, with crappy reality TV and low budget movies. They've put a concerted effort into rediscovering their roots with this current batch of scifi shows. And The Expanse is the figurehead for that. It may not be getting the viewing figures, but it is getting the critical plaudits, and I reckon SyFy are happy with that. It will be a long while before people take them seriously as a channel again, but it looks like they're willing to stick at it. So while I'm delighted it's been renewed for a third season, I'm not massively surprised. And I do need to reread the books nowl to remind myself what we'll have to expect. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/36445-the-expanse-in-the-media/#findComment-3094219
