The Expanse,  season 3 began production in May. Fans have been waiting in breathless anticipation hoping for any news.  Well, we’ve got some, courtesy of TV Line.  Defiance alum, Anna Hopkins will be playing a recurring role in the show’s third season.  

Hopkins, who’s other sci-fi/fantasy credits include Dark Matter and Arrow, will be introduced mid-season.  She’ll be playing the role of “Monica, a charming and savvy journalist who has a way of convincing her subjects to let their guard down. She will debut midway through Season 3 when she is assigned to document Holden’s (Steven Strait) administration of the Rocinante.”
