NS: I think the Julie-Miller moment in season two, in 205, is one of the loveliest things. I will say that there’s a moment in episode three that’s special. It would be nice if they stayed just a little hungry.Ĭulturess: And what’s been your favorite moment of the whole series? Like if you were to pick one moment that you were really, really proud of?ĭA: I can’t give it to you without giving you a spoiler because it’s in episode three of this season.Ĭulturess: I will look for that. Ty Franck: Well, we hope that it’s a satisfying conclusion to the story you’ve been telling for six seasons and leaves them a little hungry. It’s worked for us.Ĭulturess: And what do you hope audiences will get out of this final season? What do you hope to leave them with? And, you know, it’s always been kind of the aesthetic that Ty and I brought to this, to have gigantic events told through the very small, deeply felt stories that are happening within. I mean, one of the things that sometimes gets lost in the kind of grand scope of epic is that it’s actually… a bunch of tiny little personal stories going on together. There’s so much sci-fi that envelopes it, but it comes down to a lot of times, family, and what it means.ĭA: And, more broadly, human connection. So that sounds like there’s a chance for future seasons? Maybe? Screaming Firehawks, it’s something to comfort yourselves with if you’re feeling sad about the finality of Expanse S6.Ĭulturess: And how much does family play in this season? You see with Marco, and you see with Drummer, family is important throughout the drama. That’s one of my favorite you guys did and so that’s really the thinking that went into it. If we hadn’t done the Strange Dogs storyline, you wouldn’t have actually had access to any of it.Īnd so, by placing it into season six, it allowed us to connect those events to the narrative of season six, but also give a little window in, and possibly open the door to, other things later, in this really weird, eerie story of these children and these creatures in the woods on this alien world.

NS: You know, it was a way to service the mystery at the end of season five, which is the protomolecule sample goes through the rings, is being given to these rogue Martians, who have the scientist who knows how to use them on this planet. What made you think that you really wanted to tell that story this final season? It’s very interesting how you open up the episodes with that story. If there’s hope for future seasons, it’s all tied around this intriguing thread.Ĭulturess: So tell me about the Laconian world. Before you ask, I feel extremely privileged and savored each episode like a fine wine when viewing). It’s frankly a gutsy move to introduce such a novel approach in the last stretch of the show, but believe me, it pays off by the end of the season. The sixth and final season employs a different approach, by introducing a mini-story that centers around the novella Strange Dogs. Well, that’s not exactly a no, so fans start getting the campaign ready! Who do we need to go to? Netflix? HBO MAX? A double-balloon to Amazon? Start thinking!Ĭulturess: Okay, maybe somebody needs to send a balloon, have a third life for Expanse?

Naren Shankar: There are three more books. Well, I asked the creators themselves and you can tell me if you think there’s hope or not.Ĭulturess: And so, first question, is this really the end? Is there any hope for future seasons? Because I was pretty sad watching the last episode.ĭaniel Abraham: Yeah, it’s a big world.

Maybe I’m in denial, but I refuse to believe this is truly the end. I mean, come on, the show is so damn good, and the fans are awesome, it just seems to rise from the ashes like a phoenix.
