Massdriver Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 It appears that they are going to try to condense 3 books into 1 season. Can they do it without destroying the pacing and rhythm of the show? I can't answer that since I haven't read the books, but some fans aren't happy right now. Quote Cas Anvar, who’s played Alex since the first season, will not be joining them for the final season—following a string of sexual misconduct allegations earlier this year. As of now, it’s unclear how much Anvar will be present in season five or how the series will address his departure in the final chapter. This sucks but it's necessary. I wonder if this played a part in Amazon's decision. The Expanse PRESS.AMAZONSTUDIOS.COM The season renewal comes ahead of the series’ 5th season, which will debut December 16 on Amazon Prime Video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Are they compressing things because they had to fire Anvar, or did you just happen to throw both pieces of information ITT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happened to throw both pieces of information ITT. I wonder if it played a role, but I doubt it. I'm just disappointed that such a great show may end up being rushed and ruined at the end.

Massdriver Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for a 2 part 20 episode season 6. They didn't say how many episodes it would be, so hopefully they do it justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Condensing 3 books sounds like a great way to ruin a great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend who's read the books says they advance the timeline 30 years between books 6 and 7, and that he could see them maybe just ending the show roughly at the end of book 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Yeah I wasn't sure how they were going to do the 30-year time skip...maybe they won't, and they'll just introduce whatever the finale is earlier on and try and make it work.

On the other hand, if they don’t do that with Wheel of Time, the heat death of the universe will happen before the show ends. So...

Same, I feel like regardless of what is left to do in the books, they have put the story and characters in a place where they can finish the thing in a satisfying way. If they don’t it really is just a failure of the show runners, not the lack of more seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I have read suggests that Season/Book 6 is a natural stopping point (I haven't read any story spoilers). Spoiler A friend told me there is a 30-year time gap between book 6 and 7, so they, in theory at least, could be made into a TV show at a later date.

That sounds similar to how they’re ending The Last Kingdom. There’s a similar natural stopping point. Although that show is getting a movie which I presume will take care of the later books that the show is skipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
