And the Next Cancelled Show is...

Prime Video’s Sci-Fi Masterpiece 'The Expanse' Sets Comeback After Cancellation — but There’s a Catch

The Expanse, the cancelled but beloved sci-fi series from Prime Video, is looking to make a comeback, with a twist. Read on for more details here.

The last season of this show seemed to end halfway through. I have a few questions: What happened to this show? Was it canceled? If so, why? Is there a possibility that Amazon will adapt the last three books as a separate TV series or Prime Video film series? If anyone knows, please enlighten me.

When Amazon picked The Expanse up, their contract actually specified they could not run the show longer than SyFy ran it. Since SyFy only did three seasons, Amazon could only do an additional three. Then the final season was abbreviated because of COVID.

When the TV series did end, the novel authors were urging fans not to bother Amazon about a continuation, claiming "something is in the works." Though here we are, three years later and nothing. Amazon is apparently developing a TV series based on another novel series by the same authors, so there's obviously still a relationship between the James SA Corey duo and Amazon.

To be fair, the series ran up to a natural break in the novels ahead of a significant time-jump.

What is Sydney Sweeney's Cracker Barrel?

I nice fantasy to think about.

I nice fantasy to think about.

But she was the Captain of her high school Robotics Team!

The firmest rule to the first half of all 80s movies is that nerds are a dark ally full of garbage & spiders romantically.

Of course the firmest rule to the second Half of all 80s movies is that after you have taken the time to straighten a nerds hair and lose their over sized spectacles, they always look just like Sidney Sweeney.

Disney+ Gets Homepage Refresh As Hulu Expands Globally

Hulu will replace the Star tile on Disney+ in international markets next week, with the company rolling out a refreshed homepage experience globally over the coming weeks and months.

Disney is updating the interface in the US this week. It's said that internationally, the interface will also be updated in a few weeks or months.

 

[137th Gebirg]

I’m cautiously optimistic about this. Ever since the merger, the D+ interface has been quite a mish-mash jumble of titles. They definitely need to improve how things are categorized.

Countdown and Butterfly are both one-and-done at Amazon.

 

[The Gatekeeper]

I didn't give a shit about Butterfly, but Countdown was kind of fun popcorn entertainment. Ah well.

 

[John Clark]

Liked Butterfly but had missed Countdown. Might take a look.

MTV Europe is shutting down at the end of the year.
I don't know anything about it, but, if it's like MTV here in the states, it probably hasn't played a music video in decades.

Interesting. They've been using that forever why change now, seems an odd decision to do and a logo itself wouldn't change how people react would it?

 

[Spookman Spiff]

It low-key seems like an admission that the logo indicates lower quality. Which is generally kind of true.

I don't know I used to love some of the originals. The Electric State is good.

Spectral was cheesy but enjoyable, that was one of those I wish could have been bought as a regular movie. same with Underground 6, and Red Notice

 

[Spookman Spiff]

True, I mean, soon they'll have two originals by Guillermo del Toro, for crying out loud. It seems like this should have been the move in the Bird Box era.

 

[The Nightmare Doctor]

It low-key seems like an admission that the logo indicates lower quality. Which is generally kind of true.

But at the same time, they've had plenty of high-quality television series and films. Is their success rate any different from any other streaming service?
