There won’t be any more Ascension, at least on Syfy. The cable channel has told Deadline that, “We were very happy with Ascension as an event series, but with so much high profile development in the works, we have decided not to pursue a full series.”
Airing in December 2014, Ascension follows an alternate reality in which, in 1963, President Kennedy and the government sent 600 volunteers (men, women, and children) into space on a century-long voyage aboard a self-sustaining generation ship. The cast includes Tricia Helfer, Gil Bellows, Brian Van Holt, Andrea Roth, Brandon P. Bell, Jacqueline Byers, Tiffany Lonsdale, and P.J. Boudousqué.
When Syfy ordered the six hour episodes of Ascension last year, the plan was to make it a regular series if the mini-series was successful enough — ala Battlestar Galactica. The ratings were okay but certainly nothing to write home about.
It’s unclear if the producers will try to find a home for Ascension elsewhere.
What do you think? Did you like the Ascension series? Would you have watched it as a regular weekly TV show?
I have just seen it and it is super. Please make more. I need to know how it will go fore them.
Please please please bring it back! It was a great show with a very well developing story line. So many directions for it to go, a weekly series would be great. I miss it already!
Ascension is one of the best series I have watched over the last couple of years. Would really be nice if someone picks this up for a next season!
There is no where for the story to go to now. I got bored with it becoming a soap opera status.
Follow it ******* up! Now
I definitely hope someone picks up where the show left off. I enjoyed the continuous character development as well as all of the mysteries slowly being unveiled. I’d really love to see where the crew winds up!!
netflix should pick up this show !!!
They did;)
Where did you get this? It would be awesome!!!
I am dissappointed. I hope they change their minds.
Loved the show. I thought all the characters had a good enough storyline thay kept me engaged the whole hour which is rare nowadays.
I just found Ascension on Netflix as I don’t have regular television anymore and to answer the question of would I watched it….Heck Yeah I would have.
I would have watched and purchased the series as I did the 3 episodes. I might quit watching the syfy channel all together if they can’t get it together. Hell I could do a better job selling and running the channel than the current Staff.
PLEEEAAASE make a new season, I can’t stand the thought of not knowing what happens to all of them! I want them to break out!!!
I’m sick to deth of sci-fi there’s no more of or that you leve us whith out an end no more for me I giv up
Don’t end this. It has great potential. Producers do this a lot. You have a hit then end it when it’s doing good. Please don’t tell me it doesn’t fit your politics. You folks are so disappointing. Who’s running your decisions, Bernie Sanders?
WHYYY!!! WE WANT MORE!!!!
