Here areTheExpanseseason two teaser trailers:
Critics and Syfy’s audiences embracedThe Expanse’s first season. Before the series even debuted, the network released the pilot online, where 1.5 million viewers watched it in one week. Once the show hit television, the ratings remained nice and steady. On average, the show attracted 1.6 million viewers during its first season. There’s plenty of time to watch the first ten episodes before the two-episode season two premiere, asThe Expanseis currently available to stream on Syfy’s site and Amazon Prime.
If there’s one reason to give the series a shot if you haven’t yet, it’s Thomas Jane, who rocks that funky sci-fi haircut far better than the rest of the world would. The last TV series the actor starred in wasHung, the short-lived, slightly inconsistent but mostly charming HBO comedy. He’s starred in plenty of projects that don’t match the strong quality of his work, so it’s good to seeThe Expanseis performing well with critics and Syfy’s audience.
Here’s the synopsis:
This hour-long, ten episode series is based on the popular New York Times bestselling book series collectively known as The Expanse, written by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck (under the pen name James S.
