One concern I have with series in general now is that they just go on and on. No one ever just puts a cap on things and completes the story anymore, and the only reason is to keep people paying to watch. Or, when they do finish it, it's unsatisfactory or deviates from the expectations they set up before. I can't say whether I would think continuation is a good or bad thing in this case, because I've never watched or read any of it, of course.
You misunderstand me - they're signed for a trilogy of books. James S.A. Corey started as an author. Whether or not this trilogy will ever make it to screen is an open question.
That's one reason I enjoy British miniseries. 4-8 episodes, done and dusted. In any case with The Expanse, it's an adaptation from books. There are nine books, the tv show adapts six. At that point in the story there's a time jump of ~30 years in the books, which is why the tv series ends where it does.
