I once asked what media franchises need to just stop, that have run their time. Now I want to know which ones DID stop, and could be restarted with new content.

The Expanse
The show didn’t cover the Laconia story line, and given the time that passes before the final three books, we’re coming up on the perfect time to get the same cast back to do it.
The last few books are, in my view, the most compelling part of an already superb story.
Isn’t the time skip in the books like 20-30 years? its a while to wait until the actors have aged that much. I’d love to see it though.
Yes, but you certainly don’t need to and wouldn’t want to wait that long. You risk lower interest, retirements, loss of acting ability through death or injury, etc. You can convincingly age adults pretty soon. I think they could start filming now or easily within the next 5 years.
Aging 20-30 years in that future should be portrayed as ~10-15 years of aging in our timeline. People (esp. Inners) are far more long-lived thanks to advanced pharmaceuticals. See the coroner’s bit about life expectancies in S1.
