It's been a wild ride for fans of The Expanse over the past few months. First, it was announced that SYFY wouldn't be renewing the show. Then, a massive fan campaign was undertaken, up to and including funding a banner to be blown over Amazon Headquarters, in an effort to get someone — anyone! — to save this sprawling space epic.

And then, Amazon's Jeff Bezos made a surprise announcement that the online megacorporation would be picking up The Expanse for a fourth season and beyond.

There was much rejoicing... but it was also time for the people behind the whole thing to get down to business. We caught up with Cas Anvar, who plays Alex Kamal, at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 to talk about the journey, what it feels like to have your show saved by a passionate fanbase, and a little bit about what we can expect when the Roci crew returns for a fourth go-round!
