SyFy's not at fault here. They don't produce The Expanse , they only have limited first-run distribution rights in the US and Canada. The producer, Alcon, retains all other rights to the show. The Expanse is the most expensive TV show that isn't Game of Thrones --estimates are that each episode is approximately 70% of the average cost of GOT, which is currently the most expensive TV show in production.

Why is it so expensive? Most shots can be filmed in a strip mall.

#16Come on Netflix! This show is such a hidden gem. It needs a company that can really push it and make it as good as it can be. The world of the show and books is such a great look at a possible not long off future. A lot of sci-fi is much further ahead or not as far.

And they really are in need of something to put against a GOT-scale series based on the Tolkien universe over at Amazon's Primevideo service, which will definitely start streaming around 2019/2020.

As for Westworld: though the cast is large and costly, the actual shots themselves can be done relatively cheaply since they don't need VFX for most of them.
