It also properly introduced Admiral Duarte, a character who becomes incredibly important in the remaining books in the series.

Unlike basically every other the story in Season 6, the Laconia subplot about a girl named Cara and her efforts to save brother Xan with the help some alien creatures was very forward-focused.

While The Expanse team went into Season 6 knowing it would almost certainly be the show’s last, they chose to tell the story that included a Laconia-set subplot adapted from Expanse novella Strange Dogs. I doubt this will happen as it has not happened so far, even with the significant promotional push from Amazon and the fanbase yelling about this show to anyone who would listen for the last six seasons. The only eventuality that could change this reality is if the show became much more popular on Amazon Prime Video for some reason, and the viewing analytics convince Amazon, or another media company, to greenlight another season. Because of this, it’s unlikely that we would get any more TV seasons of this phenomenal show. Honestly, it’s hard to imagine The Expanse continuing on in its current format, given that it more or less proved itself unviable as a commercial property at both SyFy and Amazon Prime Video. While this situation feels different, given that the cast and crew knew going into Season 6 that it would be their last and set out to complete the story, the series finale-and the final season in general-left the door open narratively for more story to come, should it find funding at some point in the future. However, this show has pulled off miracles before, and has proven to have a very loyal fanbase. In fact, all official statements have stated that Season 6 will be the last, with no hint of a possible sequel series to finish adapting the book series either. Let me begin this article by saying: there has been no official statement suggesting that a Season 7 of The Expanse will happen.
