The first trailer for season five of the hit science fiction TV series "The Expanse" has landed and it is glorious.

The trailer debuted Thursday (Oct. 8) in a virtual panel for New York Comic Con 2020. Even better, we have a premiere date: "The Expanse" will return to the Amazon Prime video streaming service Dec. 15, with the first three episodes available at launch and the rest rolling out on a weekly basis.

Joining the NYCC panel's moderator Dominique Tipper, who plays Naomi Nagata on the show, was Steven Strait (Jim Holden), Wes Chatham (Amos Burton), Cara Gee (Camina Drummer), Naren Shankar, showrunner and executive producer, Shohreh Aghdashloo (Chrisjen Avasarala), Frankie Adams ('Bobbie' Draper), Daniel Abraham, co-author and executive producer and Ty Franck, co-author and executive producer.



While it might have been nice to have, say Kevin Smith or Adam Savage moderate the panel and thus give Tipper a chance to answer questions herself, it was still extremely entertaining.
