The Expanse is already a Netflix Original minimally in the UK and Australia but possibly in other areas. I doubt it would be much of a stretch for them to take on if they think it's worth it.
There's a lot of noise on twitter/reddit ec with people trying to get other media to pick up The Expanse, sets are being 'deconstructed' starting on Monday though. Hope it doesn't go the way of Farscape/Firefly/SGA/SGU etc
Really not helped that so many people haven't even heard of the series yet because of amazingly marketing, zero merchandise and the weirdest doomed to failure/piracy way of broadcasting to an extremely limited audience.
I'd like to see amazon or Netflix perhaps pick it up but I'm not hopeful.
Allegedly the set deconstruction has been delayed until Wednesday as there may be a meeting between Alcon and Amazon.

After the show's cancellation on the Syfy channel last week, fans of the solar-system-spanning adventure "The Expanse" have rallied, encouraging Amazon and Netflix to pick up the show and garnering support from cast members and celebrities.
The show is fully produced and financed by Alcon Television Group, with Syfy given first-run airing rights in the U.S. American viewers can stream the series on Amazon Prime, whereas Netflix has the show's international rights, according to Deadline.com.
Any of those networks could provide a potential home for Season 4 of the series, so fans have targeted all of them with their campaign — even hiring a plane to fly a "Save the Expanse" banner over Amazon Studios in California for 4 hours yesterday (May 15).
hopefully Amazon or Netflix will pick it up, I will be amazed if they don't. Even G R R Martin (GoT) has taken to twitter to express his support:

Just saw online that SyFy has cancelled THE EXPANSE. It's a damn shame, especially for fans of space science fiction... of which I count myself one. It was the best space show on television, far and away. I hope its producers can find another home for it.

For those unfamiliar with theatrical terminology, "Striking a set" means to dismantle the scenery.If they were stopped from doing that, then the set must be needed for...something.
