At The Expanse panel earlier today, they revealed a teaser trailer for the upcoming fourth season of the sci-fi series on Amazon.

The Expanse is a series based on the best-selling book series of the same name by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The story unfolds across a colonised galaxy 200 years in the future, when two strangers become unwittingly swept up in a vast conspiracy.

The fourth season begins a new chapter for the series as we follow the crew of the Rocinante on a mission from the U.N to explore new worlds beyond the Ring Gate. Humanity has been given access to thousands of Earth-like planets which has created a land rush and furthered tensions between the opposing nations of Earth, Mars and the Belt. Ilus is the first of these planets, one rich with natural resources but also marked by the ruins of a long dead alien civilisation. While Earthers, Martians and Belters manoeuvre to colonise Ilus and its natural resources, these early explorers don’t understand this new world and are unaware of the larger dangers that await them.

The upcoming fourth season stars Steven Strait, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Dominique Tipper, Cas Anvar, Wes Chatham, Frankie Adams, Cara Gee, David Strathairn, Anna Hopkins, Nadine Nicole, Elizabeth Mitchell, Thomas Jane, Chad L. Coleman, Burn Gorman, Lyndie Greenwood and Rosa Gilmore.

The Expanse season 4 will be available on the streaming service on the 13th December 2019.
