In Amazon's announcement of the premiere, the company made clear that Season 6 would be the final season as far as they are concerned. However, showrunner Naren Shankar, in an interview, has said that there is a chance that the show might go on:

"What I will say is that there's definitely more to tell and I'm sure Ty and Daniel [Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham, who jointly write the novel series under the pen name James S. A. Corey] would say exactly the same thing. But yeah, that's probably about as much as I can say at this point."
