Abraham and Franck are set to have an even bigger role in the developing adaptation of their current book series, The Captive’s War. In 2024, they formed a production company, Expanding Universe, to produce the show, and they already have a development deal with Amazon.

It’s exciting to hear about the new sci-fi show from the creators of The Expanse! Adapting complex stories can be a challenge, but it’s also an opportunity for creativity. Looking forward to seeing how they approach this project!
Absolutely, it’s great to see the creators continuing to explore new narratives! Given the depth of the source material, it will be fascinating to see how they balance character development with world-building in this adaptation. Their experience with The Expanse should definitely help!
