After the completion of The Man in the High Castle and The Expanse, Amazon is currently missing a spot for live-action space-based sci-fi, while Disney, Apple, and HBO have each something on screen.
The closure of Amazon's MGM purchase in 17.03.2022 is still very fresh in terms of business timeframes.
Granted, current Amazon sci-fi offerings are Invincible, The Boys ("Homelander"), "Upload", and "Night Sky", but one is a cartoon, the other two are mostly Earth-based, and the third... Well, it's about Sissy Spacek and JK Simmons going to other planets from Earth through a gate in their suburbian shed.
There are numerous other sci-fi shows that Amazon has involvement in, some of which are in protracted development, if you will.
I'll bring out only those that have dedicated articles or article sections in Wikipedia. Each has some kind of a news tidbit, but usually, no more new information since the first announcements, with the most fresh items at the top.
