‘The Expanse’ Creators Set ‘Captive’s War’ TV Series at Amazon, Launch New Media Company Expanding Universe (EXCLUSIVE)

The team behind Amazon’s cult hit sci-fi epic “The Expanse” has set a new series at Amazon MGM Studios. The project, a TV adaptation of book series “The Captive’s War,” is part of a development deal between Amazon and “The Expanse” creator’s newly launched multi-platform media company, Expanding Universe.

Founded by “The Expanse” showrunner Naren Shankar, Breck Eisner (a director on the series), and best-selling novelists and screenwriters Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck (who published “The Expanse” books under the pen name James S.A. Corey), Expanding Universe will be announcing additional projects soon.

“The Captive’s War” TV series is an adaptation of the planned book trilogy of the same name from James S.A. Corey, which launched in August with the New York Times bestselling novel “The Mercy of Gods.”

Holy, I am currently halfway through reading this at the moment

Wow, that was quick! Really excited and I guess this means it's just a matter of time until the rest of the Expanse books gets made as well.
I actually picked up the first book just a few days ago, and just found out they also released a novella set in the same world.

I wonder if this is the reason they're no longer working on God of War, or if this just happened to get picked up in the aftermath.
