[Thread] I have good news and bad news and good news. 😁 Good: The Expanse team has reformed to create a media company, Expanding Universe. Bad: They haven't announced a sequel to The Expanse. Good: They're adapting James S.A. Corey's new sci-fi trilogy into a TV series for Amazon MGM Studios! 1/7

And so their first project is a TV adaptation of the new book series The Captive's War, for Amazon MGM Studios. The first novel, The Mercy of Gods, was published in August. A first novella set in the same universe, Livesuit, was released in October. Set in a distant future of galactic empire...

...alien civilizations, and inspired by the biblical Book of Daniel, The Captive’s War follows a group of prisoners who rise from the ashes of catastrophe to destroy their conqueror’s society from within. It is an epic tale about the transformative power of individuality in a totalitarian world.

But that's not all. Breck Eisner: "Expanding Universe is focused on developing sci-fi narratives with sweeping world-building and elevated storylines, geared toward multi-platform expressions in filmed entertainment, gaming, and publishing. The Captive’s War is a perfect launchpad for our model."
