Season5 of the Expanse is its next to last on Amazon Prime. This video explains the timeline of the Expanse universe, how things changed in the imagined future, and how the characters came together for the first book/season of the TV show.

The history of the Expanse goes back more than two billion years to the Ring Builder civilization. When they hurled an extrasolar object loaded with protomolecule at the Earth they very nearly made it unlikely for human life to develop. Instead the object got caught in Saturn’s gravity waiting for someone to discover it.

This timeline video explains how much time has passed in the Expanse during seasons 1 through 5. It discusses the differences in the timelines of the books and the show, and what year the story is supposed to take place. The video also looks at the major advancements in the story, from the Epstein drive to the opening of the Ring Gates.

The disappearance of rich-girl-turned-political-activist Julie Mao links the lives of Ceres detective Joe Miller (Thomas Jane), accidental ship captain James Holden (Steven Strait) and U.N. politician Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo). Amidst political tension between Earth, Mars and the Belt, they unravel the single greatest conspiracy of all time.

Season five of the series picks up as multitudes of humans leave the solar system in search of new homes and vast fortunes on the earth-like worlds beyond the alien Ring, and a heavy price for centuries of exploitation of the Belt finally comes due and a reckoning is at hand. For the crew of the Rocinante and the leaders of the Inner Planets and the Belt, the past and present converge, bringing forth personal challenges that have wide-reaching repercussions throughout the Solar System. Amos (Wes Chatham) returns to Earth to confront his past and the legacy of the life he fought to leave behind. Naomi (Dominique Tipper) reaches out to her estranged son in a desperate bid to save him from his father’s toxic influence. Bobbie (Frankie Adams) and Alex (Cas Anvar) confront the collapse of Mars as they chase a shadowy cabal with ties to terrorists and criminals. Holden (Steven Strait) wrestles with the consequences of his own past with the Protomolecule, the aliens who built it, and the mystery of what killed them. Drummer (Cara Gee), with a new crew, fights to escape who and what she used to be. And Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo), refusing to be relegated to the sidelines, fights to prevent a terrorist attack unrivaled in history.
