"The Expanse" is epic in scale and scope and promises to be Syfy's most ambitious series to date", said Syfy president Dave Howe.
Set in 1869 Alberta-Montana border country, this series is a Western whose heroes are women. With most of the men gone, and those who remain battling for control, the women struggle to survive, to find their independence, and to build a life in which to thrive and raise families.
