That being said, there are still more books that the series hasn’t yet adapted for live-action.
The show was rescued by Amazon after Syfy canceled the project after season 3.
If another run is greenlit,there is already a shining example of howThe Expanseseason 7 could look.
With all the characters aging three decades,the originalExpansecast would be unsuitable to reprise their roles.
So, it wouldn’t make sense to make such a drastic alteration forThe Expanseseason 7.
The core group of actors remained the same throughout most ofThe Expanse.

Although several new characters came and went, the crew of the Rocinante remained the show’s core focus.
If the show’s lineup has changed, the time jump could be next to go.
Hopefully, that wouldn’t happen, as it’s a major component of the story.
The Expanse is a sci-fi series set in the distant future where humanity has spread out across the solar system, but the alliances between the three most potent governing bodies have reached a state of the cold war. In the series, a mixed crew finds themselves at the center of a dangerous intergalactic conspiracy that threatens to bring war to the colonized worlds.
Unfortunately, this would be the case for a big time jump ahead ofThe Expanseseason 7.
Thankfully,For All Mankindhas providedThe Expansewith a perfect workaround.
Every season ofFor All Mankindends with a time jump of roughly ten years.

This technique could easily have looked cheesy or underwhelming, but it has been achieved very impressively.
For All Mankindhas a score on Rotten Tomatoes of 92%, andThe Expanseis rated at 95%.
The Expanseseason 7 would do well to imitate this technique.
There are other avenues Amazon could explore, but they would hurt the adaptation.
This wouldn’t be many people’s first choice, as the casting was perfect the first time around.
The Expanse tends to avoid certain sci-fi tropes.
However, there’s one in particular that has a huge impact on the show’s narrative at large.
So,The Expansemay never return at all - which is probably the most likely scenario.
Imagine a world where the global space race never ended - For All Mankind is a thrilling “what if” take on history that explores what would have happened in the race to the moon between the Soviet Union and the United States, as well as the space programs and the race’s effects on the astronauts and their families in the aftermath. The Apple TV+ series hails from Ronald D. Moore and stars Joel Kinnaman as a NASA astronaut. For All Mankind also features historical astronauts like Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong.
