Prime Video’s New Sci-Fi Show From The Expanse Author Is The Space Opera TV Needs Right Now

By Dani Kessel Odom, Published 2 days ago

Dani Kessel Odom (they/them) is an autistic lead writer on the New TV team, focusing on writing and content planning for streaming shows. They often assist with Classic TV coverage, as well. They have covered events, such as Denver Fan Expo. Their articles have also been shared by professionals in the field, such as Damien Leone and Lucy Hale.
In university, they majored in English Writing with a minor in psychology. They have always had a passion for analyzing TV and movies, even taking filmography and scriptwriting classes in university. They also studied and participated in onstage and onscreen acting extensively from the ages of 7 to 18. Aside from working at Screen Rant, Dani has worked as a freelance editor and writer over the past decade, often in a ghostwriting capacity. 

Prime Video’s upcoming sci-fi show from the writer of The Expanse is already slated to be the best space opera on TV. The sci-fi genre is still going strong, but the space opera subgenre isn’t very common on TV anymore, outside of Star Wars. Sci-fi tends to shift with public concerns. As such, there is great interest in cyberpunk (which will be the highlight of 2026), dystopian sci-fi, and realistic sci-fi.

However, there’s still an argument to be made for space operas, which often make commentary on war and politics. They usually get to the heart of what it means to be human, even when alien species are involved. Plus, they are just a ton of fun to watch.

The sci-fi subgenre is also just as relevant and entertaining as ever. Luckily, one of the most exciting upcoming sci-fi TV shows based on a book is The Captive’s War, a space opera that TV needs to revitalize the subgenre.

Prime Video Is Adapting The Captive’s War Series By James SA Corey

Before the first book in the series ever came out, Prime Video picked up the rights to produce the sci-fi series The Captive’s War, which is written by James S.A. Corey (the pen name of the duo Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck). Corey previously wrote The Expanse, which was turned into a TV show by SyFy and Amazon.

The Captive’s War TV show will have the same team that created The Expanse. The previous series’s showrunner, Naren Shankar, will serve as executive producer, writer, and showrunner. The books’ authors, Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, will serve as writers. Finally, The Expanse’s director, Breck Eisner, will also direct The Captive’s War.

The upcoming series comes as a part of the development deal between Amazon, MGM Studios, and the new multi-platform media company Expanding Universe, which was founded by Abraham, Franck, Shankar, and Eisner. Because the authors are directly working on the project, they can co-produce the books and TV show without it causing problems with narrative consistency.

The Captive’s War Has An Epic Scope & Storyline

The Captive’s War book series will include 3 books and 2 novellas. As of the time of writing, one book and one novella are out. The first book, The Mercy of the Gods, and the first novella, Livesuit, lay all the groundwork for the story to become a full-on space opera.

The Carryx alien empire has gone from planet to planet, destroying populations, taking over, and taking prisoner anybody who could be useful to them. Although the inciting incident in the books is Carryx invading the human planet of Anjin, it’s clear they’ve done this before. Plus, we meet other alien species, making the scope pretty grand.
