As Alex (Cas Anvar) says halfway through the beautiful-looking trailer: "Holy shit!"

But that's not all, as Amazon also released a clip from the season, featuring the Rocinante landing on a new planet named Ilus. And, according to Gizmondo, we will be seeing a lot more of that new-found world this coming season.

So, when can we watch the new season of The Expanse? The cast and crew revealed that season 4 will debut on Amazon on December 13, 2019. Not too long to wait.

The official synopses for season 4 has also been released.
