This doesn't mean that fans of the later books (which includes some massive time jumps) might not get hints of the events of books beyond what The Expanse is planning is translating into TV. If we do any televised material for books 7, 8, and 9, we'll never have any issues, because all the books will have been out for a while."
"The sixth season of the show is based on the sixth book which has been out for three years. "The sixth season of the show is not going to include material from books 7, 8, and 9," Abraham tells Inverse. “The sixth season of the show is not going to include material from books 7, 8, and 9.” But Naren Shankar, Daniel Abraham, and Ty Franck say the situations aren't even remotely similar.

Way back in 2017, when The Expanse Season 2 was still on the SyFy Channel, Abraham and Franck acknowledged that their involvement in translating their own novels into a sprawling, and super-faithful TV series was uncommon. “There is a graceful place to take a pause.” Here's why they say The Expanse doesn't have anything close to a Game of Thrones problem. What does that mean for The Expanse TV show? Will Season 5 have to cram in elements from four additional books, including one that hasn't even been released yet? What about Season 6 after that?

Season 5 premieres on December 16, with weekly episodes through February 2. After two different networks and numerous twists and turns, The Expanse will start to wrap up the entire TV series.
