Season 3	Season 5

Season Four is the fourth season of Amazon's The Expanse and the first to air after the migration from Syfy to Amazon Studios. Amazon officially ordered Season 4 on May 26, 2018^[3]. The season will be released on December 13, 2019^[2] and will consist of ten episodes which will be released all at once.^[1]

The fourth season will center on Cibola Burn, and presumably, end any remaining plot aspects of Abaddon's Gate. The season will also retain viewpoints of Earth, Mars and the Belt in addition to those of the Ilus-centric viewpoints in the Cibola Burn book^[4]^[5]. Additional plots involving characters not as heavily featured in Cibola Burn (like Bobbie and Avasarala) will be added to round out the viewpoints for of the various factions using novella sources or new stories^[4].

Synopsis

THE EXPANSE begins a new chapter with the crew of the Rocinante on a mission to explore worlds beyond the Ring Gate, the first of which is Ilus. Humanity has been given access to thousands of Earth-like planets which has created a land rush for natural resources and furthered tensions between Earth, Mars and the Belt. Early explorers on Ilus don’t understand this world and the dangers that loom.
