Huge new trailer drops for sci-fi masterpiece The Expanse in time for Season 2 on February 1st, 2017

With Mass Effect: Andromeda hype building, Passengers set to take cinemas by storm, and Star Wars being Star Wars, outer space is definitely en vogue.

Somehow in the confusion and craziness of the holidays I’ve somehow missed the latest trailer for the upcoming second season of The Expanse, one of the breakout TV series in recent memory. The new video for the SyFy series shows the aftermath of the events of ErosĀ from Season 1, in which the alien-like Protomolecule began consuming those around it.

The show, set 200 years in the future where Earth, Mars and the asteroid belt are on the brink of war, carries the vibe of a space opera, with characters and plots interweaving to follow and form a larger story built on climax and crescendo. And beautiful visuals. Much like modern video games and films, The Expanse has taken CGI and special effects to limits unseen on screens before, featuring visions of space, spaceships, and space war like rarely before. Season 2 adds huge vistas and more locations to the mix, to go along with new characters, sure to make our eyes bleed.

February 1 on SyFy. See you then!
