Corey, a pen name of the authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, who also serve as writers and producers for the show. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes ( 2011 ), was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel and Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. On April 11, 2014, Syfy announced a straight - to - series commitment to a television adaptation of the book series, and ordered the production of 10 one - hour - long episodes for the first season. On that date Syfy President Dave Howe commented : `` The Expanse is epic in scale and scope and promises to be Syfy 's most ambitious series to date ''. Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby wrote the pilot, directed by Terry McDonough, and serve as writers and showrunners alongside Naren Shankar. Produced by Alcon Television and The Sean Daniel Company, principal photography started on October 29, 2014, in Toronto. The pilot episode was screened at San Diego Comic - Con in July 2015. In May 2015, before the first season aired, writing commenced for a second season, which was ordered in December 2015. The second season of The Expanse premiered on February 1, 2017. On March 16, 2017, The Expanse was renewed by Syfy for a 13 - episode third season to air in 2018. Filming for season 3 began on July 12, 2017. Four digital comics based on the books and tying into the television series have been published by ComiXology. The first focuses on the origin of James Holden and was released February 1, 2017. The next three, highlighting the origins of other characters are : Naomi Nagata, released April 19, 2017 ; Alex Kamal, released May 24, 2017 ; and Amos Burton, released July 12, 2017. The show 's title sequence was animated and directed by Australian studio Breeder and its VFX team. Cancellation and renewal In May 2018, Syfy did not purchase the rights for future seasons, because of reportedly restrictive distribution arrangements, and announced it was cancelled. Alcon looked for other channels to distribute future seasons. Fans protested the cancellation, gathering over 100,000 signatures for an online petition. They lobbied Amazon Studios and Netflix to pick the series up ; a crowdfunding campaign paid for an airplane to fly a `` # SaveTheExpanse '' banner around Amazon Studios. Celebrities including Wil Wheaton, George R.R. Martin, Patton Oswalt and Andreas Mogensen supported the campaign. On May 26, at the International Space Development Conference, Jeff Bezos announced that Amazon picked the series up for additional seasons. Music The show 's soundtrack was composed by Clinton Shorter. The first season 's soundtrack dubbed The Expanse Season 1 -- The Original Television Soundtrack, consisting of nineteen tracks, was released by Lakeshore Records, on May 20, 2016 via iTunes, and on May 26, 2016 via Amazon. Release In the United States, The Expanse is broadcast by Syfy and streams on Amazon Prime. In Canada, the series airs on Space and streams on CraveTV. In New Zealand, the series airs on Sky. In all other countries where Netflix is available, seasons 1 and 2 can be streamed. Reception Season 1 Hawk Ostby accepting the Hugo Award at Worldcon in Helsinki 2017 The first season received a rating of 65 out of 100 on Metacritic based on reviews from 23 critics, indicating `` generally favorable reviews ''. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has a score of 76 % with an average rating of 7.12 out of 10 based on 42 reviews. The site 's consensus states : `` The Expanse blends sci - fi elements and detective noir into a visually compelling whole, though it takes a few episodes for the story to capture viewers ' intrigue. '' Reporting on the pilot screening, io9 's Lauren Davis declared herself `` blown away '' by The Expanse, appreciating its `` incredible sense of scale '' and its `` deeply thought out future world that reflects on our present one, with high production values and characters who speak and act like real people ''. Max Nicholson of IGN characterized the pilot as `` grim and dramatic '', and a `` very dense hour of television '', with the terminology and large cast sometimes difficult to follow for viewers unfamiliar with the novels, but highlighted the pilot 's `` gorgeous '' visuals and effects reminiscent of Battlestar Galactica, Dune and Firefly. Writing for Variety, Maureen Ryan was unimpressed by the first four episodes `` awkwardly linking a series of somewhat muddled stories '' and the series ' stereotypical characters, but credited it with tackling `` issues of class, representation and exploitation '', and a convincing design. At Tor.com, Justin Landon highlighted The Expanse 's `` bold and unique cinematography '' and its claustrophobic, discomforting set designs, as well as the `` extremely faithful '' characterization, but remarked that the patois spoken by the Belters, the natives of the asteroid belt, made the series difficult to follow. Season 2 The second season was also received favorably. On Metacritic, it has a score of 77 out of 100 based on 5 reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has a score of 95 % with an average rating of 8.83 out of 10 based on 20 reviews. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` The Expanse 's second season offers more of the show 's excellent signature production values while increasing character development and politically thrilling narratives. '' Writing for io9, Katherine Trendacosta noted how the show had become `` shockingly prescient '', insofar as many of the issues and ideas explored by The Expanse mirrored contemporary trends in global politics. Brian Tallerico, in `` Why The Expanse Is the Best Sci - FI TV Show You 're Not Watching '' for Rolling Stone, praised the show for its contemporary political relevance and called its willingness to mix tones, and its protagonists, laudable. He summarized that at its core, The Expanse was all about people responding to fear -- fear of the other, fear of the new, fear of inequality, fear of death. Writing for NPR, astrophysicist Adam Frank praised the show and its writers for the scientific realism. He wrote that `` more than any other TV space - themed show, it gets the science right ''. Season 3 On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has a score of 100 % with an average rating of 8.75 out of 10 based on 12 reviews.
