Probably not - not enough people watched the show. Plus they’d need all new actors due to the significant time jump between books 6 and 7. I’d love to see it, but I’m not holding out any hope.

They wouldn't need new actors. There are previous reddit threads on this that discuss the tech boon to anti aging between the books. The characters are just a little rusty and dumpy but don't age as much in space as you do on a planet eating up sun rays all day. Think about some of our modern 60 year old celebrities that look like they are 30. Anyway, here is the thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheExpanse/comments/u48gmh/is_60_the_new_30_in_the_expanse_pr_onwards/

Be that as it may, my first (and more pertinent) point stands. Not enough people watched the show; pairing that with a show that’s pretty expensive to make does not bode well. Honestly, I’m thrilled we even got 6 seasons. It’s so rare that a show with a relatively small audience gets revived as it did.

Maybe we just need a cultural shift towards space stuff again, been a lot of medieval and post apocalyptic shit recently, society's ripe for another space phase.
