Things are heating up for season two of ‘The Expanse’

Season one of SyFy’s The Expanse made it clear that science-fiction programming was stepping out into a bold new arena thanks to brilliantly imagined world building, and exceptional character work by a talented cast that includes Thomas Jane, Steven Strait and Shohreh Aghdashloo.

Now the countdown is on for The Expanse’s ambitious second season, and if the new trailer is anything to go by, it’s certainly going to be an intense one.

Season two of The Expanse is set to premiere on February 8, 2017.
