Here’s 12 Easter Eggs FromThe ExpanseYou Might Have Missed The First Time Around

Syfy ’s space opera The Expanse is getting gear up for its second season , and afterward this week , the series comes out on Blu - shaft of light and DVD , which stand for that we can binge on the show all over again . When you watch it again , keep your eyes unclothe for a whole bunch of easter testis .

The Expanse novels have apretty interesting back storyand some nerveless link to other works of science fiction , such as Alfred Bester ’s The Stars My Destination . As we watch through the season , we caught a whole bunch of references to a whole horde of other piece of work . Here ’s what we found :

In the fender sequence , we watch as Detective Miller ride in Cere Station ’s underground organisation , and get a abbreviated coup d’oeil at the station map , which has someinteresting nugget :

Argentina’s President Javier Milei (left) and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., holding a chainsaw in a photo posted to Kennedy’s X account on May 27. 2025.

Cutty Station is name for Chad Coleman ’s reference Dennis “ Cutty ” Wise on the HBO serial publication The Wire . Coleman present Fred Johnson , an Outer Planets Alliance drawing card later in the show .

Hermes Square pops up a swell , which someone on the Expanse Reddit varlet is claiming is a denotation to Futurama .

Just a couple of moments later , we watch Miller walk into his precinct . In the setting , there ’s a poster for The Book of Mormon , which the Expanse author ’s way confirmed as being a acknowledgment .

In later in the sequence , the work party picks up a suffering lighthouse from a ship called the Scopuli . It ’s completely appropriate : the name comes from the place from which the Greek Sirens sang from , luring sailors to their deaths .

In the show ’s third episode , Remember the Ca nt , a familiar comet pops up :

Over on the left wing , you ’ll see Comet 67p – home of the ESA Rosetta missionary post . It reckon like they have n’t rename it . I marvel if they regain or actually institute the concluding resting berth of the Philae lander .

Starship Test 9

In CQB , the show ’s fourth instalment , there ’s a really cool reference to the moving-picture show Alien :

There ’s also neat recall to the books in CQB : While Miller is trying to get to the bottom of the Julie Mao subject , he comes across a room where a bunch of mass are watching a fender catapult : this is what take place in the opening picture of the third novel , Abbadon ’s Gate .

Fred Johnson ’s history is talked about in the novel , but it ’s in the forgetful story that it ’s depicted .

Lilo And Stitch 2025

Later in the same sequence , Miller visits a bar on Ceres called Tech Noir , a neat reference to a ginmill by the same name in The Terminator :

In the show ’s 7th episode , Windmills , Amos makes a character reference to ‘ the Churn ’ . It ’s a callback to not one of the tie - in novellas , The Churn , which look into Amos ’s yesteryear .

There ’s a brace of references in the 8th instalment , Salvage . Here ’s one that Daniel Abrahampointed out on Twitter :

CMF by Nothing Phone 2 Pro has an Essential Key that’s an AI button

There ’s Serenity , from the show Firefly , but that intact ship list is full of little extension , Spitfire , Infineon and Wellington are all the gens of World War II - geological era RAF aircraft and the Ark Royal is the name of a British aircraft carrier . Stalker is the name of a fantastic Andrei Tarkovsky film , and Anubis is the Egyptian god of the afterlife ( among other things ) , which make sense , considering the cargo that it was carrying .

by and by in the same episode , Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck ( both James S.A. Corey ) become Easter eggs of their own when theypop up for a brief cameo :

Abraham , has remark a figure of times on Twitter that the show rewards rewatching , because they ’ve sprinkle in a net ton of these point of reference .
