The End of “The Expanse”
While the 6th and (for now) final season of The Expanse largely mirrors the plot of James SA Corey’s sixth book, Ashes of Babylon, the episodes also contain references to some key future players. Admiral Winston Durate and siblings Xan and Cara only come after one Time skip of 30 years in books seven through nine.
That’s what fans of the series are wondering about burning to see if Amazon Prime Video is interested in another sequel after the series was saved by the US broadcaster SyFy with season 4. Because the Based on the sci-fi series, there are still new adventures in three more books.
Showrunner Naren Shankar reveals in an interview with the Online magazine Entertainment Weeklythat you are satisfied with the end of the series. At the beginning of “The Expanse” it’s about the impending war between Earth, Mars and the Belters.
And Season 6 is the culmination and resolution of this story. It essentially ends with a new political order for the solar system that resolves the situation we started with at the very, very beginning. Of course, the ending leaves some doors open, as things are happening in Laconia that will change the order of the solar system. But the time span between book six and book seven is almost 30 years. So it is […] a natural ending in many ways. […] And if you look closely at the credits, we even hid a little something. In the end, the ring beings come to life!
Naren Shankar in Interview with EW
The end of the series was a wilder Achterbahnritt. Each of the characters should have their special moment and it should feel like “any of these people could be lost at any moment,” explained Shankar. It hit it particularly hard Fate of Naomi and Filip.
Naomi, Filip and Marco
In the It is clear from the novel that Filip is not on the ship is that his mother Naomi is going to blow up. That’s how it turned out for them Series, however, a heartbreaking scene
In the series universe, this means that Marco’s son can now chart his own course. “This moment means the horrible things he’s done can’t be undone, but maybe he can redeem himself for what he did,” showrunner Shankar said.
Cara, Xan and Duarte
Elsewhere, the story of Cara and Xan is already touched upon, which is in the becomes very important in later books. Her backstory is not covered until later in the short story “Strange Dogs”. Also in this case Shankar deviated from the template to take a look into the future.
So some “unresolved questions from the end of Season 5 should be answered”. This change gave you a clue to future events, otherwise you would not have inferred from the final scenes of the children running into the forest that the two “are destined to be altered by the protomolecule.”
Also looked Duarte to the orbital platforms activated to craft the battleships he will need. “This is pretty spooky and shows that the protomolecule is still out there […]. It makes viewers feel like there might be more out there, like there are three more books,” explains Shankar.
Also Duarte becomes an important position in the following volumes of novels as High Consul of Laconia
When we introduced Duarte to Xan’s funeral, he showed up without warning and chatted with the girl. He spoke about why he came here and reveals the reasons for his actions. I thought that was a great way to introduce this character to explain what these Martians are doing. Why did you come here? Why did you risk all this? What is the mission?

That’s what a sequel is about
So there is some clues pointing to a possible sequel indicate, but whether there is already something tangible, Naren Shankar did not want to answer. So put them future of the franchise in the hands of production studio Alcon Television and Amazon.
From a purely creative point of view, we tried to complete at least a large part of the story satisfactorily. At the same time, we left the gates open for more if the appetite for more is there. And I’m certainly not violating confidentiality by saying that Ty, Daniel and I – speaking for ourselves – would love to do a sequel.
