It was a tense and turbulent season 3 finale ofThe Expanse.
Ashford tried to destroy the Ring to save humanity, not realizing the act would actually doom it.
So what killed them?
And Miller says, I kinda wanna know too.
What was tricky aboutAbaddons Gatewas that it starts with an entirely new cast of characters.
It kind of builds up to getting them through the Ring.
Its more philosophical than intellectual.
The space where they go into, its sort of the most…
Which tends to be sort of more like science-realistic, or at least tries to achieve that.
It was such a momentous thing and such a huge game-changer for the world ofThe Expanse.
We always felt like that would be a great place to end the season.
Thats definitely her trajectory, and I think its just something that naturally happens.
We wanted to keep Cara in the show because we just think shes a great character.
Shes really made Drummer her own, and we couldnt be happier with how thats playing out for us.
One of the most interesting things you did on the show was your treatment of Ashford.
And so, it led us to this idea of their lieutenants.
Then that was the starting point for Ashford, because he doesnt have really that backstory in the book.
And we asked ourselves, what would a guy who worked for Dawes have done before?
And so we crafted that character and built a backstory around him.
I think that its one of my favorite things in season 3, honestly.
He just gives a terrific performance, all over.
Lets talk about season 4.
But suddenly that all changes.
Whats going to happen?
Will that be the same deal here?
Is that going to be the battleground and the space version of expanding west?
The bookCibolatakes place entirely on Ilus.
We are there for one complete novel.
Weve never been to Mars, really.
Weve never been to the planet Mars in the course of the series.
Ill leave it at that.
What about Avasarala, because you know how much we all love her?
Is season 4 going to be all book 4?
Or is book 4 going to go into season 5?
Do you have a sense of that yet?We do have a sense of it.
Weve often pulled materials forward from later novels and to earlier novels, building novellas into it.
It changes kind of season to season.
I think we did some pretty drastic things when we needed to.
So were really excited to be on Amazon.
