But as we were doing the season breakdown and figuring out what we were going to do six episodes on, it became clear we couldn’t do justice to those stories in the amount of time that we had. We actually had a bigger part for Pastor Anna and a bigger part for Prax.
Franck laid out some of the plans they had to drop: The team sounds like they’re doing the best they can with the six episodes they have to work with, but that does mean that some things were cut. “That was part of it as well, because the way these cycles work on the streamers, I think that that probably entered into the situation.” What got cut from the final season of The Expanse? “I think it was also a desire to make sure that we were able to finish it and get the episodes done to be back on a year after we had been off,” Shankar continued. Of course, with Jeff Bezos behind things, you wonder how budget can ever really be a problem, but whatever. So that was kind of presented to us as, “Can we tell this story in six episodes?” and our response was, “Let’s think about it.” We talked about it and we came back with, “Yeah, we can do it, but we’re going to have to supersize the sixth episode.” That one’s really like an episode and a half.Īs Franck points out, “these are not six inexpensive episodes,” so it sounds like it came down to budget.
