The Expanse
Amazon’s “The Expanse” has received a panel for New York Comic-Con later this week – specifically Thursday at 5:10pm US-EDT. The show’s cast and creators will take part to discuss the upcoming fifth season of the highly acclaimed sci-fi series.
Unlike most shows caught short by the pandemic, ‘Expanse’ wrapped filming on its fifth season a few weeks before the global pandemic shut down productions. Hopefully the panel will yield both a potential first trailer and premiere date. [Source: Twitter]
