Did you know that not only are there zero-gravity sex scenes in The Expanse but that they were shaped by a professional sex scene choreographer? (Yes, apparently there is such a, er, position.)

How about the fact that the production of The Expanse is so, well, expansive that it shot on not one, not two, but three of the biggest stages at Pinewood Toronto Studios?

Let's not forget the fact that The Expanse will faithfully follow the three-book series that includes Leviathan Wakes, Caliban's War and Abaddon's Gate ... whilst still taking a few creative liberties, like introducing the character of Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo) much, much earlier.

The Expanse premieres on Syfy on December 14.
