“It expands.”
Here is the show’s official synopsis for Season 4:
“Season 4 of The Expanse, its first as a global Amazon Original, begins a new chapter for the series with the crew of the Rocinante on a mission from the U.N. to explore new worlds beyond the Ring Gate. Humanity has been given access to thousands of Earth-like planets which has created a land rush and furthered tensions between the opposing nations of Earth, Mars and the Belt. Ilus is the first of these planets, one rich with natural resources but also marked by the ruins of a long-dead alien civilization. While Earthers, Martians, and Belters maneuver to colonize Ilus and its natural resources, these early explorers don’t understand this new world and are unaware of the larger dangers that await them.”

For Season 4, fan-favorite Burn Gorman (‘Torchwood’, ‘Game of Thrones’, ‘Pacific Rim’) has joined the cast as Adolphus Murtry, “chief of security for Royal Charter Energy (RCE) aboard the Edward Israel.” Additional new additions include Lyndie Greenwood who plays Elvi Okoye, a biologist working for the RCE, Rosa Gilmore as Lucia Mazur, a Belter refugee, Keon Alexander as a Belter faction leader, and Jess Salgueiro as a corporate security officer.
‘The Expanse’ Season 4 will arrive on Amazon Prime Video on December 13, 2019.
