Curious about the process of adapting a book series for television? Book Riot has an exclusive video from Syfy detailing the process. With a ton of interviews and new footage from the show, it’s a great feature that will get you pumped for The Expanse and thinking about squeezing in a reread of the books before the premiere.
But you’ll want to start rereading Leviathan Wakes today, as the big day will be here before you know it. Seriously, it’s right around the corner! Starting on November 23rd you’ll be able to watch the first episode via Syfy On Demand, Syfy.com, the Syfy Now App, Hulu, Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, iTunes, Playstation, Xbox, Facebook and YouTube in advance of the cable premiere.
In case you missed some of the previous backstage videos, you can watch them all at Syfy.com. We really recommend checking out “Worlds of the Future.” It’s got some great footage from the sets you’ll see in the show.
New York Comic Con starts today and if you’re attending, you’ve got to check out the Expanse panel. Syfy will be screening the first episode with a Q&A to follow.
The screening starts at 4:00 PM in the Pepsi Perfect Theater (Room 1A06).
Orbit is also offering a show special on the first two Expanse books. Purchase Leviathan Wakes and you’ll receive Caliban’s War for free, while supplies last. So if your old copies are getting worn from all those rereads we’re sure you do, this is a great opportunity to replace them. It’s also a good time to get your friends hooked on the series and maybe get a little holiday shopping out of the way early? Orbit’s booth is located at #2218. It’s listed as Hachette Book Group in the guide in case you get lost.

Holden and crew are back in the fifth breakneck installment of the Expanse series! Purchase it today wherever books are sold.
A thousand worlds have opened, and the greatest land rush in human history has begun. As wave after wave of colonists leave, the power structures of the old solar system begin to buckle.
Ships are disappearing without a trace. Private armies are being secretly formed. The sole remaining protomolecule sample is stolen. Terrorist attacks previously considered impossible bring the inner planets to their knees. The sins of the past are returning to exact a terrible price.
And as a new human order is struggling to be born in blood and fire, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante must struggle to survive and get back to the only home they have left.
