The Expanse season 6 premieres on Friday (Dec. 10), with its first episode streaming at 12 a.m. ET.
It's on Amazon Prime Video.

When season 6 begins, the action picks up with the solar system in an all-out war. James Holden (Steven Strait) and the crew of Rocinante are fighting alongside the Combined Fleet of Earth and Mars against Marco Inaros (Keon Alexander) and the Free Navy's campaign of death and destruction.

As the tension and constant losses threaten to pull the crew apart, Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo) makes a bold move and sends former Martian Marine Bobbie Draper (Frankie Adams) on a secret mission that could turn the tide of the conflict.

Meanwhile, in the Belt, Drummer (Cara Gee) and what's left of her family are on the run after betraying Marco. And on a distant planet beyond the Rings, a new power begins to rise.

How to watch The Expanse season 6 anywhere online

While Amazon Prime Video is available in many countries around the world, it's not everywhere. If you are in a region without access to Prime Video, you don't have to miss The Expanse season 6. Watching along with the rest of the internet can be pretty easy. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you go.

We've evaluated many options, and the best VPN is ExpressVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds. It's also affordable at $12.95 per month. (Signing up for longer periods of six months or a year reduces the cost even more.)
