Amazon has not yet revealed anything about the release date of The Expanse Season 5. However, we can make some educated guesses as when we would get to see more episodes of the show. The latest season, the fourth one released in December 2019. And given that the show has wrapped filming, all Expanse fans are looking forward to the 2020 release date.

The Expanse Season 5: Could Clarissa Get A Redemption?
Mao’s family has been a big part of The Expanse story. In fact, Jules Mao was the first one to get the alien creatures’ samples. That was also the cause of triggering a clandestine arms race, which resulted in a number of deaths. However, his daughter Julie then joined the Outer Planets Alliance. She tried to get her hand on her father’s protomolecule. Clarissa helped Holden in switching the Ring Gates, and that could be her moment of redemption. It was a very important thing to do, especially at that time. However, Clarissa will have to prove that she is worthy enough for the freedom in the upcoming season. She might get an Ashford-style arc in The Expanse Season 5, where she would change her mind about revenge mission against Holden.
Well, anything is possible, and we can all just be as hopeful as we can. Amazon has not yet revealed anything about the future of the show post the fifth season. However, fans do not need to worry as the latest season; the fourth season is one of the most-watched shows on the streaming platform. So, Amazon would probably bring more of it.
