The Expanse Season 7 Return Chances Addressed by Star: “I Know There Are Conversations…”

by

Even though The Expanse finished four years ago, fans are still very enthusiastic about it and eager for any updates, particularly regarding a possible continuation. When it was announced last year that a comic book, The Expanse: A Little Death, would explore the story further with a focus on Amos Burton, some fans expressed disappointment. They believed that any sequel deserved to be a cinematic production to truly capture the spirit of the original series.

It appears many people want to continue the story of The Expanse. Wes Chatham, who played Amos Burton, is also hoping for more seasons to properly conclude his character’s arc. In an interview with ComicBook about his new show, Cross, Chatham expressed his strong interest in revisiting the role and spanning a 30-year timeline to bring the story to a satisfying close. While nothing is confirmed, he believes there’s a desire and ongoing discussion about making it happen.

Everyone Wants to See The Expanse Continue On

When discussing the future of The Expanse in comic form, Chatham expressed a preference for continuing the story on television. He’d like to see the remaining books adapted into two more seasons of a show, though he acknowledges that’s not guaranteed. He’s been surprised by the show’s continued growth in popularity, even after it finished airing. While recently filming a movie in Georgia, near Russia, he was struck by how many new fans approached him, saying they’d just discovered the series through streaming algorithms. He’s noticed a significant increase in fans approaching him at airports, and this growing fanbase is what excites him about the future of The Expanse.

Look, everyone agrees – The Expanse left a huge mark, and its cancellation felt way too soon. It really left a void in sci-fi TV. But the fanbase hasn’t shrunk at all, and if anything, we’re even more desperate to see the story finished! There are still three books left to adapt, and a lot of us are hoping that when Amazon’s rights expire in about a year, another studio will step up and give the series the proper ending it deserves. We’re all keeping our fingers crossed!

Regarding the remaining books in the series, Chatham expressed excitement about the possibility of continuing the show. He imagined a time jump mirroring the books, allowing them to complete the story and potentially surpass what they’ve already achieved – something rarely seen on television. As an actor, he found the idea of portraying his character across a 30-year span and bringing the story to a satisfying conclusion particularly appealing. While he doesn’t know if it will happen, he confirmed there’s a strong desire and ongoing discussions about adapting the remaining books.

This announcement offers fans renewed optimism after four years of waiting, particularly with the current deal with Prime Video nearing its end. The quality of visual effects has significantly improved since 2024, and excitement from both fans and the original creators has increased. A revival would likely be even more impressive than the original series, especially if the people who first brought it to life were involved, as they truly understood and respected the source material.
