　　Now Playing: The Expanse Season 5: Everything To Know

　　One cast member that isn't coming back, however, is Cas Anvar, who has played Alex Kamal in all the seasons so far. In June, it was reported that Anvar had been accused of sexual misconduct, leading to an investigation by Expanse producers Alcon Entertainment. While the findings of this investigation have not been revealed to date, Anvar will not be back for the final season.

　　Although fans might be disappointed this will be the final season, the show nearly didn't have a proper ending at all. In early 2018, Syfy cancelled The Expanse, but within a few weeks, a huge outpouring of fan support led Amazon to pick it up. The news was announced to the cast in dramatic fashion by Amazon owner Jeff Bezos.

　　The Expanse Season 5 premieres on December 16. The first three episodes will be released initially, and after that new episodes will release weekly until February 3, 2021. There will be 10 episodes in total. Check out the latest trailer here.
