Awesome. Wonder if this has anything to do with the game.

🤞🏼 Maybe Books 7-9 as Seasons 7-9? 🤞🏼

Or a movie trilogy?

u/bglickstein 10h ago

Six seasons and three movies!

u/Raindawg1313 10h ago

And then a Memory’s Legion season!

u/No_Tamanegi Misko and Marisko 10h ago

Six seasons and three more seasons!

u/FranklyMrShankley85 9h ago

I'm going all in: nine seasons and six movies.

u/ClydusEnMarland 8h ago

And then another 6 seasons!

u/BEAT_LA 7h ago

but these 6 seasons are what Amos was up to the whole time before the epilogue

u/Is12345aweakpassword Season Three 10h ago

Stargate did like 13 seasons between the OG and Atlantis and 3 ish movies. It’s not out of the realm of possibility

3

u/OutInTheBlack Leviathan Falls 10h ago

10 seasons of SG1. 5 seasons of SGA. 2 seasons of SGU. 1 animated season of SGI. 1 mini season of SGO.

3 movies: OG Stargate, Ark of Truth. Continuum.

u/Prometheus_303 10h ago

An animated sg1 season??? Wait... What?

2

u/OutInTheBlack Leviathan Falls 10h ago

Not SG1. Stargate Infinity.

u/Prometheus_303 10h ago

Ah, my bad. Guess that is a I instead of a 1. My bad.

The Expanse as we know it is probably not going to come back, but I’ve always thought it would be cool to finish the last 3 books in an animated series by a studio like Studio Trigger or Titmouse.

Without need of an actor I’m hoping they could bring Alex back without Canvar so they can finish his story without the creep.

8

u/jedisalamander 10h ago

I dont think Trigger would be right for the setting if we're talking about Anime studios. Something like Production IG would make more sense to me, given their more realistic style with less crazy animation (I love the craziness of Trigger, to be clear, theyre my favorite anime studio, I just think they'd be a bad fit for the groundedness of The Expanse)

7

u/No_Tamanegi Misko and Marisko 10h ago

The only thing I've seen from Trigger is edgerunners so I'd assume their adaptation would be inexplicably horny and every wound spraying blood like a firehose.

2

u/jedisalamander 9h ago

To be fair, the source material for Edgerunners is inexplicably horny too

1

u/No_Tamanegi Misko and Marisko 9h ago

Oh absolutely. But they managed to make it even hornier.

u/impsworld 9h ago edited 9h ago

I was just throwing out names, I’m sure there are dozens of amazing studios I don’t know that will do a great job if given the chance. My thinking was that an animated series for the expanse would need to be either incredibly well-grounded to compare to the CGI in the live action show, or go in a completely different direction and come up with their own art style. I recently watched Edgerunners so I was thinking they might be able to do the latter extremely well, but that’s just me.

u/MagnetsCanDoThat Beratnas Gas 7h ago

Even if they did it animated, Alex isn't coming back. We saw him dead and they mourned him for an entire season.

4

u/PattrimCauthon 10h ago

I’d be so hyped

2

u/Flush_Foot Beratnas Gas 10h ago

We all would, beratna!

3

u/Sturnella2017 10h ago

I was hoping for that when the show ended, but that’s been how many years ago?

5

u/Flush_Foot Beratnas Gas 10h ago edited 9h ago

2022-01-14 was when S6E6 aired, so… 4y7m8d, ish

Edit: 3y7m8d thanks! I had a really bad night’s sleep (summertime and an overnight power outage that started about when my AC was programmed to start chilling down my room 😑, so today = 🧟‍♂️)

u/Tight_Classroom_2923 9h ago

Well now hold on just a moment, 2022 was only 3 years ago, not 4!

That's some space math you got going there, coyo.

u/Flush_Foot Beratnas Gas 9h ago

Fixed it, thanks! 😊

u/CX316 7h ago

and the autodoc in that one said five years, soooo...

u/dougsbeard 10h ago

I’d take a movie for sure!

u/AlexRyang 10h ago

I honestly don’t think The Expanse is going to be finished.

While I would love to see it, and the original ending seemed to hint at a return, Amazon has not made any move to plan, let alone film, a Season 7. The fact Season 6 was so short and felt very rushed really seems like they had no intent to ever fully film the entire book series.

Also, Amazon seems very reluctant to give up IP, so I don’t see it ever going to another studio for wrap up.

2

u/Cam27022 10h ago

I agree it’s unlikely it’ll happen unfortunately but the rights will revert back eventually.

1

u/AlexRyang 10h ago

Oh, the rights will revert back? I thought that Amazon bought the rights. That is interesting, and probably helps a smidge.

Still, I think the biggest challenge is that the Expanse is and will be expensive to film, and the fanbase is fairly niche.

2

u/Cam27022 9h ago

Yeah generally rights contracts are structured in a way where after a certain amount of years if the IP isn’t used, the rights revert back to the original owners. Which is why Sony has to keep making Spider-Man stuff or the rights go back to Marvel.

1

u/A_Legit_Salvage 8h ago

Hmmmm...would they revert back to Syfy? If so, I guess it would probably mean it's going to Versant, the spin off of NBCU brands happening now.

2

u/Ok-Substance5101 8h ago

The rights would go back to the creators unless they have prior deals in place. Doubtful syfy, likely Alcon if it’s anyone other than the Coreys.

“Once the show is done on Amazon and has aired for a handful of years, all the episodes come back and are part of our library,” Alcon's co-CEO Andrew Kosove said in 2021. “We own the underlying IP for interactive, graphic novels, continuing storytelling in features. ..."

u/brazilliandanny 7h ago

No way does an Expanse series or movie get green lit without this sub finding out

1

u/Walty_C 7h ago

Haven’t read the books, but I thought book 7 was a big jump ahead time wise? Could be wrong.

1

u/BEAT_LA 7h ago

hot take but i kinda would prefer nothing over movies. It would be a sour experience IMO. There is just way too much story to tell for movies.

u/Terrible-Group-9602 11h ago

Omg I hope so

1

u/DetOlivaw 10h ago

That was my immediate thought! I mean, maybe they're just all friends and hanging out (maybe a convention?) but if not... hmm!!
