James S.A. Corey's Expanse coming to television
The Syfy network begins broadcasting Dec 14, 2015. Most of this network's programming has ended up on streaming services such as Netflix and there is a 'view full episodes' section of the website but I'm not sure if it is tied to to a cable provider. Season 1 is based around book 1, Leviathan Wakes. I swear I read something about the pilot being online November-twenty-something but I can't find it now . Maybe someone who is better at wading through the (horrible) website can find the info I've lost.
The Expanse page at Syfy.com. IMDB page with the cast. Chrisjen doesn't appear until book 2, looks like a grandmother, and is Indian which doesn't match casting but there is also a nice screen shot of her in a sari with a Belter so I have hope. Edit: Could some kind Mod add the X to Expanse in the title please. Whoops! Last edited by artifact; 11-17-2015 at 03:33 PM. |

I'm pretty excited for this show, myself. I really like the books. Last edited by DiapDealer; 11-17-2015 at 03:42 PM. |

Not an author I've come across, which slightly surprises me if he (?) is a well-known SF author.

Ty Franck used to be George RR Martin's assistant and Daniel Abraham has been around the block a little bit: his two series ("The Long Price Quartet" and "The Dagger and the Coin") have been moderately succesful. |

I am looking forward to this as well, although I need to catch up on the series. I have only read the first book but really enjoyed it.
The first book was a Hugo Award nominee in 2012. |

I paused after the first three books (with a couple of novellas in between), as they were one fairly complete arc. But I'm sort of waiting on the next full arc to be complete before starting again.

Does this mean that Syfy in the UK will be running The Expanse on December 14 like in the US?
