"The Expanse" is punching back after being canceled by the Syfy network last year.

Amazon saved the series and renewed it for a fourth (and fifth) season. Season four debuted on Friday on Prime Video, and it looks like the show is a hit. The series' audience demand in the US increased by 34% week-over-week, Parrot Analytics said on Monday, making it the data company's seventh-most in-demand digital original in the US this week.

Demand expressions are Parrot Analytics' globally standardized measurement unit of TV audience demand, reflecting desire, engagement, and viewership, weighted by importance.

Amazon did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment on "The Expanse's" performance.

Syfy canceled "The Expanse" because of sluggish ratings, as the network owned only first-run linear rights to the show in the US, according to Deadline. But all four seasons are now available to stream globally on Prime Video.

With Amazon's picking up the show, some cast members felt that it finally had the chance to have a wider impact.

"We kept saying for the first three years, 'This is the best show that no one has seen,'" Shohreh Aghdashloo, who plays Chrisjen Avasarala, said during a Q&A session at New York Comic Con in October. "Now we're going global. We're being seen. It can't get any better. The show has finally found its place. Amazon is the place for a show like this."
