Amazon officially revives The Expanse for Season 4
-
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, a massive fan of the James S. A. Corey book series that the canceled Syfy drama is based on, personally made the announcement Friday at a panel at the National Space Society with the cast and crew in Los Angeles. "I just got word that The Expanse was saved," Bezos told the audience. Amazon already had streaming rights to reruns of the first three seasons of The Expanse. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Bezos is a big fan of the book — the source material was on the screen when the executive displayed Amazon's Kindle Fire for the first time to press — and he was said to be livid when the TV series went to NBCUniversal-owned Syfy, a move that reportedly ignited his demand that Amazon Studios brass find the next Game of Thrones.
