Developed by Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, ‘The Expanse’ is a science-fiction show based on the novels by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, who use the name James S. A. Corey. Set in a world where humans have colonized the solar system, the storyline revolves around the political tensions between the superpowers. They are the United Nations Earth and Luna, the Congress Republic of Mars, and the Outer Planets Alliance (OPA).
The Expanse Season 7 Release Date: Renewed or Cancelled?
As far as the seventh season is concerned, we have news. It was announced that the series would end with its sixth season, which means that the sci-fi drama has essentially wrapped up its storyline with the season 6 finale. However, in early December 2020, writers of the books Abraham and Franck made it quite clear in a press event that they see the sixth installment not as an end but “a very natural pause point for the story.” Franck reiterated, “I think one of the things that is sort of an outmoded idea is the idea of being canceled.”

It is hard to ignore the enthusiasm around the storyline possibly continuing beyond the six rounds. Firstly, in late 2020, showrunner Naren Shankar told EW, “…there’s a natural ending at the end of book 6, that both closes this chapter of the show and the big story, but it also leaves the door open for more to come later.” He also said, “They [Alcon Entertainment] control the property, but what I will say is that there’s definitely more to tell and I’m sure Ty [Franck] and Daniel [Abraham] would say exactly the same thing.”
Subsequently, in early 2021, co-CEO of Alcon Entertainment Andrew Kosove revealed, “We own the underlying IP for interactive, graphic novels, continuing storytelling in features. … It’s such a rich world. We’re considering all kinds of interesting possibilities.” After all, there are nine books in ‘The Expanse’ universe and a novella titled ‘Memory’s Legion: The Complete Expanse Story Collection’ that is awaiting release in March 2022. Assuming that six seasons chiefly cover the first six books of the series, Shankar’s words hold true.
