Syfy is giving us The Expanse and FX is making Redshirts into a series. There is also going to be a new Star Trek.

On the video game front we have Mass Effect Andromeda and a glut of new Star Wars games. There is also Star Citizen and The Mandate.

The Mandate

Paradox, a game studio best known for historical strategy games are entering the space genre with Stellaris.

Stellaris - Paradox Interactive

Disney is giving us Star Wars every year and there is going to be another Guardians of the Galaxy. Luc Besson is giving us Valerian, which is based on a Franco-Belgian comic. And there is a Mass Effect movie in the works.

In literature Anne Leckie's Ancillary Justice has won numerous awards including the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke awards. The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey has also found success.

Will all this lead to a golden age of space epic genre in all mediums?
