It can be tough to get several different entities to come together and do the right thing, meaning, produce more Expanse, but not impossible. That said, plenty of good shows have been scrapped because of licensing rights. Off the top of my head I believe Deadwood (an all-time favorite) met such a fate. It seems like similar happened to Farscape. I'm sure there are many more I'm not thinking of. Halo died for different reasons but I sure wouldn't be upset if some service either picked it up and continued the story, or rebooted the whole thing and satisfied purists of the game series. I'd be happy either way but I would like to see Pablo Schreiber and Kate Kennedy return.

The Expanse is right there with the mytholigjcal Holy Grail as far a TV is concerned and one of the best things ever created in entertainment. I'm on book four of the series and my interest hasn't waned a bit. I another hugely popular book series from about a decade ago give or take, that was turned into a TV series called Game of Thrones, I read all of those books too. The ones published at least. If this show lives up to its promise let's hope it doesn't turn into that, I'm still waiting on the last book in the A Song of Fire and Ice series and at this point it's a toss up whether Martin or myself will ever see the finale but it ain't lookin' good.
