Reply to comment by Jim3001 in Will The Expanse ever get the last 3 seasons to finish out the last 3 books? by MajorRichardHead7

I think Avasarala is supposed to be in her 80's during the early stuff. This is a future where cancer meds and anti-aging drugs have pushed life expectancy out to (I'd imagine) somewhere in the ~110-120s.

I know she was well past 100 when she died. But I always chalked it up to her being too stubborn to die and so cranky that heaven and hell were afraid to let her in.

I haven't read the books, only watched the show, and I don't think that it's outright talked about in the show.
