While some channels and streaming services are cutting back on their scripted series, Syfy appears to be focusing on growing its slate. How will The Ark perform in the ratings? Will this new show be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A sci-fi drama series, The Ark TV show stars Christie Burke, Richard Fleeshman, Reece Ritchie, Stacey Read, and Ryan Adams. The story takes place 100 years in the future, when planetary colonization missions have become necessary to secure the survival of the human race. The first of these missions on a spacecraft known as Ark One encounters a catastrophic event that causes massive destruction and loss of life. The survivors have more than a year left in their journey to their target planet. Unfortunately, with a lack of life-sustaining supplies and a loss of leadership, the remaining crew must become the best versions of themselves to stay on course and survive. Characters include Lt. Sharon Garnet (Burke), Lt. Spencer Lane (Ritchie), Lt. James Brice (Fleeshman), Alicia Nevins (Read), and Angus Medford (Adams).
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances of survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like The Ark TV series on Syfy? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*4/13/23 update: Syfy has renewed The Ark for a second season.
Ark is traditional fun space opera with adjustments for current technology. I like the characters and the friction and drama keeps me interested.
Cancel this garbage as quickly as possible. This POS never should have made it to the pilot
I’m really enjoying this show. The numbers are low but should be good enough for a second season.
I love it!! A very refreshing change of pace on SyFy for Space and Survival Show lovers like myself. I like the characters, especially the everyday nerds and regular passengers that are actually geniuses in disguise getting their chance to shine! More please and thank you!
Looks better than The Star Lost, the show it is basically copying. The characters are so-so. Absolutely can’t stand the fast talking, afro hair waste management lady. The hick genius farmer is also overdone. They are caricatures of real people.
The show is entertaining and hopefully it will continue to improve. It is nice to finally have a show on Sci-Fi that belongs there. I’ll watch the complete season.
