![]() Brian George is a prolific TV and voice actor and has featured in a host of projects since last being seen in The Expanse, but there's a certain bitter irony that George would play Arjun Avasarala for two seasons, only to be unable to return for his character's biggest storyline yet.ĭespite the casting change being completely outside of The Expanse's control, this was certainly no like-for-like substitution. By the time the season 4 renewal was official, George was already unavailable. The Expanse writer Hallie Lambert confirmed on Twitter that the series originally intended to bring Brian George back for season 4, but the actor had been cast in another series between The Expanse's cancellation at Syfy and their rescue at the hands of Amazon Prime. It's not unusual for TV shows and films to change actors when promoting a character from bit-part to a more prominent position, but the timing was entirely coincidental in Arjun's case. Some viewers might assume that Arjun's recasting had something to do with the character's increased presence in season 4, especially after being entirely absent in season 3.

By far Arjun's most significant TV story comes in season 4 when Chrisjen is standing for reelection, but the character was recast ahead of the show's Amazon debut. Arjun makes sporadic appearances in The Expanse season 1 and features briefly in season 2. Arjun remains a faithful, loving companion to his wife and provides a moral compass when necessary, tempering some of Chrisjen's more questionable strategies and reminding her of her priorities and values with his calm idealism. A supporting figure on The Expanse (in both senses of the word), Arjun takes care of the couple's grandson while Chrisjen is off trying to save the Earth, and he also teaches as a professor of poetry.
