Here is a round-up of all the news you need to know from Monday, November 18, 2019. 

It's been a long time since we've had fresh episodes of The Expanse, and thanks to Amazon Prime Video swooping in to save the day, we will have a whole season to watch next month. 

To celebrate, the streamer has dropped a brand new trailer that shows a mission going horribly wrong. 

The Expanse Season 4 finds “the crew of the Rocinante on a mission from the U.N. to explore new worlds beyond the Ring Gate,” according to the official synopsis.

“Humanity has been given access to thousands of Earth-like planets which has created a land rush and furthered tensions between the opposing nations of Earth, Mars and the Belt. Ilus is the first of these planets, one rich with natural resources but also marked by the ruins of a long dead alien civilization."

"While Earthers, Martians and Belters maneuver to colonize Ilus and its natural resources, these early explorers don’t understand this new world and are unaware of the larger dangers that await them.”

Over on HBO, we have a teaser trailer for Avenue 5, a brand new comedy series that features Hugh Laurie as the man at the helm of a doomed cruise liner in the sky. 

The series is a “space tourism comedy set 40 years in the future, when the solar system is everyone’s oyster.”

In the world of Daytime TV, Kelly Clarkson is in it for the long haul. 

NBC Universal confirmed Monday that the singer's daytime talker will be back for a second season. 

The news is unsurprising when you consider that it is the fall's No. 1 new syndicated series, achieving an average audience of 1.9 million viewers per episode. 

The series comes in fourth place behind Dr. Phil, Live with Kelly and Ryan, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
