The first full trailer for Season 6 of “The Expanse” has dropped and it exhibits an escalating, explosive and expensive battle with Marco Inaros and his rising band of Belter terrorists that decision themselves the Free Navy.
The sixth and remaining season of “The Expanse” will premiere on the streaming service Amazon Prime Video on Dec. 10 and it picks up with the solar system at battle, as Marco Inaros (Keon Alexander) continues to launch devastating asteroid assaults on Earth and Mars. As the tensions of battle and shared loss threaten to drag the crew of the Rocinante aside, Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo) makes a daring transfer and sends former Martian Marine Bobbie Draper (Frankie Adams) on a secret mission that might flip the tide of the battle. Meanwhile, within the Belt, Drummer (Cara Gee) and what’s left of her household are on the run after betraying Marco. And on a distant planet past the Rings, a brand new energy begins to rise.

Much like the teaser we saw back in October, Avasarala gives a voiceover, “We’re wounded. We’re broken,” she says as we see a glimpse of New York, flooded and on fireplace. “Trying desperately to keep ourselves going by pretending we’re not.” And then we hear the forceful and scary voice of Marco Inaros as he requires all Belters to unite towards the Earthers and the Martians.
This is the final season that Amazon goes to provide. It brings us as much as the occasions in e-book 6, “Babylon’s Ashes” by James S. A. Corey, the joint pen title of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The remaining e-book within the collection, the ninth novel, “Leviathan Falls” is due out on the finish of November of this 12 months. In the story, there’s a 28 12 months hole between the occasions of “Babylon’s Ashes” and e-book 7, “Persepolis Rising,” so this looks like a pure break. Whether one other studio picks up the present to proceed the story stays to be seen.

“We’re broken,” Avasarala says as we see a glimpse of New York, flooded and on fireplace. “Trying desperately to keep ourselves going by pretending we’re not. We must remember the lives we have lost. The pain we’ve suffered … because with every new attack Inaros’ power grows.”
