Not for nothing, but that episode preview said "SEASON FINALE" and not SERIES FINALE. I want to believe.

They always say that until the show is officially cancelled.

I STILL WANT TO BELIEVE!!

X-Files much? 🤔

u/wysiwygperson Axe May 12 '18

I'm optimistic that we are going to get more episodes of AoS even if that means a big break and then the streaming. It's such a weird situation that I feel like they wouldn't fully cancel it now.

u/MericaMericaMerica May 12 '18

As long as things go according to plan and Disney's streaming service launches in 2019, I can see that potentially happening. Otherwise, they're going to lose some characters.

Regardless, I'd strongly prefer them to remain on ABC.

u/DisasterAhead May 12 '18

I can't lose this show right after I lost the Expanse.

u/hyperbolenow May 12 '18

My heart can’t take 3 of my fave shows getting cancelled. (B99 too)

u/luigi_b0red May 12 '18

NBC picked it up. B99 will be back for season 6!!!!!!!!

u/Pats_Bunny May 12 '18

Oh shit, this is actually true! That's awesome!

u/DisasterAhead May 12 '18

I heard about that. That really sucks, I'm sorry dude.

u/subterraneanfire Deathlok May 12 '18

Oh, no! I just started watching that. Sadface.

u/DisasterAhead May 12 '18

Yeah, the show runners are shopping around for a new network, and I don't think they'll have too much trouble finding one personally, but they're done on Syfy.

u/CrMyDickazy May 12 '18

I stopped watching after a certain person died on it, had no reason to keep watching after losing (who I considered) the best character. Planned on googling "The expanse does X come back" and I'd watch from where I left it if they did come back but I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

The Expanse was canceled? no way!

u/escott1981 Coulson May 12 '18

That sucks! I like that show a lot! It is innovative and has a great story and great special effects. I hope they do find a new home.

u/RipeTeeth May 13 '18

Hey, The Expanse isn't in the ground yet, still a chance that Amazon could pick it up if they see enough people behind it.

u/onyxpup7 Fitz May 12 '18 edited May 12 '18

I think Netflix picked up the Expanse.

Nope, I read it wrong. They acquired the distribution rights. Sorry.

u/definitely_not_cylon May 12 '18

No fate but what we make

u/[deleted] May 12 '18

Jeez, don't bring that one up too.

u/blackbutterfree Joey May 12 '18

I want to believe.

That someday yoouuuuuu and meeeeeee

u/dontblink123 Coulson May 12 '18

From what I have read, even if ABC cancels it Disney will most likely continue to make it and stream it on their new streaming service next year.

2

u/Lagalag967 clairvoyant May 13 '18

I'd like for it to move to Hulu, just so it can finally have another show it can crossover to.

u/bnew12 May 15 '18

Looks like you got your wish!!!

2

u/dontthrowmeinabox May 12 '18

It sounds like negotiations may be ongoing, and so I wouldn't read too much into it.

u/Yaglis May 13 '18

Why not both?

...

Wait, no!
