“I think it’s the best thing we’ve done so far,” Wes Chatham, who plays Amos Burton, says of
The Expanse’s fifth season. We agree and we also think Amos’ thrilling, emotional storyline has a lot to do with that success. In season five, we see him pay a long-awaited return visit to Earth, where things…take a turn.

On December 16th, Amazon dropped the first three episodes of The Expanse season five.
Amos journey is a stand out, where he is back to his roots in Baltimore. As Amos, Wes Chatham really gets the chance to shine this season. Amos has always been a fan favorite, but the character hasn’t been allowed to show the kind of range that he does now range that’s the result of well-earned character growth.
Other fan favorite, Camina Drummer, is also given time and space on her own that previous seasons haven’t afforded her. Cara Gee is just so good as the driven, tough-as-nails Drummer who possesses the fiercest eyeliner game in the galaxy

Though they’re in separate storylines, both women find themselves in similar circumstances, having to take a step back from the power they’re used to wielding in order to serve new leaders they don’t necessarily respect.
