The first season wasn't on Netflix until Nov 2016, almost 1 year after it aired on US TV... I wouldn't hold your breath on S2 airing in the UK any time soon.

I bought s1 dvd from the US and will get S2 the same way, July I hear.

Was it really that long? Wow....they really need to deal with that to get the international revenue to keep it funded past S3.

It'll be syfy holding things up, Netflix were happy and ready to get S2 picked up as soon as it finished airing in US.

just finished season 1, this is brilliant as are the books. Bit confused why they changed a few minor details as it added nothing, but also didn't takeaway much either so muhh.

Loved season 2 and cannot wait for season 3!

It really is a shame it gets held up bringing Season 2 to Netflix UK - it should just air here the same time?!

Did anyone else not think one of the guys on the Venus lander mission (to investigate the Eros crash site) looked a bit like Adam Savage from Mythbusters!?

it did look a hell of a lot like him, mainly because it was him

TheOtherOption · 14 Jul 2017 at 19:03

Awesome - I really did have to double take when he came up and I was right

Now gone off to watch his behind the scenes Tested channel videos!

Cheers @Siliconslave

Delay is ridiculous and no reason for it really - other shows, even with complexities of regional licensing and translations, manage to release episodes digitally to the main markets within 2 days of the main airing.

The international rights are held by a completely different company than the US rights.

August listings up and still its not an entry for the UK :| I'm out of patience now waiting for it to appear on Netflix or any other platform in the UK.

pecnarf · 28 Jul 2017 at 02:08

well the blu-ray of season 2 was released on the 28 of July in the US and it region free. as for Netflix if I remember correctly season 1 didn't hit uk Netflix until at least two to five months after the blu ray released in the US.

It's stuff like this that drives people into illegal downloads. And, lets be honest, most Sci-Fi fans are fairly tech savvy and know how and where to get their illegal copy.

sorry I made a slight mistake it was the 18th of July when season 2 was released on blu-ray same day as season 4 of "the 100". also season 2 of the expanse dvd or blu-ray can be bought off eBay with stock in uk

Rroff · 28 Jul 2017 at 03:32

Can't even remember the last time I watched a blu-ray.

Washout · 28 Jul 2017 at 10:17

Just ridiculous really. Whatever the legal rationale is at the end of the day they're cutting their noses off to spite their faces.

SPG · 7 Aug 2017 at 13:12

Just finished this.

Really like it, however that holden character is the worst of the lot, badly acted and needs to be killed off.

(this is mainly due to his character annoying the hell out of me)

That's a real shame cos S2 is much improvement over S1.

There are other ways to watch it in the UK ladies and gents.

Washout · 7 Aug 2017 at 13:18

A friend of mine says he's going to have to since not only is it still not on Netflix's schedule, there's been no mention if it will ever be there.

Yeah, thats not going to happen.

Personally I felt he was way better in the books, though most of the characters are.
