The Expanse season five has somehow already reached episode six with “Tribes,” a somewhat calmer instalment that’s still packed with action and incredible character work, especially for Cara Gee’s Drummer and Wes Chatham’s Amos. Tensions are sky-high as the season enters its second half.

“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.
One of the standout characters of The Expanse's fifth season is Amos Burton, who returns to Earth to face his past and must then confront an uncertain future, too. We talked to actor Wes Chatham about the relationships that helped shape Amos' journey.

The Expanse just dropped its first three episodes of season 5 early this week. Next week, they’re back on a weekly release. “Exodus,” “Churn,” and “Mother” separates our core group for the first time across their storylines, and it looks like it might stay that way for a while.
Perhaps the most interesting journey is Naomi’s (Dominique Tipper). After a brief scene with Holden on Tycho Station, she departs to meet up with her son, Filip (Jasai Chase Owens), in an effort to get him away from his father, whose movement against people not of the Belt will one day get him killed. However, Naomi doesn’t seem to be aware of just how deep Filip is in. The opening sequence of the season shows Filip and his group board a science vessel, stealing their research, and executing everyone on board.
