The Expanse - Opening Titles

Opening Titles

Client: Amazon

Charting a journey into the future; for six years and counting.

The Expanse is a hard sci-fi set hundreds of years in the future where Earthers, Martians and Belters vie for power in a solar system divided by class. Breeder has had the immense pleasure of being creator and custodian of the title sequence and its evolution for all 6 seasons on this multi-award winning series for Alcon Television and available on Amazon Prime Video.

The concept tells the story of humanity's expansion from earth to the outer-rim and beyond over hundreds of years through an impressionistic time-lapse. As the show developed from season to season, and the political winds of the factions at play added new pages to our history, the title sequence also evolved - sometimes every episode.
