The journey of The Ark will continue. Syfy has renewed the series created by Dean Devlin and Jonathan Glassner for a third season. The second season finished airing in September.
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. In season two, after the brave crew of Ark One reaches their destination and finds it uninhabitable, they must survive long enough to locate a new home for themselves and all the ships that follow. Characters include Lt. Sharon Garnet (Burke), Lt. Spencer Lane (Ritchie), Lt. James Brice (Fleeshman), Alicia Nevins (Read), and Angus Medford (Adams).
Airing on Wednesday nights, the second season of The Ark averaged an approximate 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 249,000 viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 47% in the demo and down by 37% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM).

What do you think? Have you enjoyed The Ark series on Syfy? Are you glad this show will be back for a third season?
I enjoy the show . There are not many new Sci Fi shows if any. I end up rewatching the old Stargate series . “The Expanse” is another one that should be continued. And” Stargate universe”
I am so happy to hear the show is getting a 3rd season, I loved both the first and second season of the show and so many good shows get cancelled way to soon nowadays and this is one of only a few new shows that is any good on tv today and I am so excited to see more!!!
This is good news
I Am Extremely Excited That The Awesome Show is Coming Back. I will Be Anxiously Awaiting To See The New Season!
really glad to hear of the renewal. Liked this show.
Great show, good storyline!
Great news
We are happy to hear this!
This is a great show! I think it’s hard on shows like this to be rated based on the old broadcast standards. Streamers have changed everything. Indeed, I knew several folks who binge watched season 2. I hope we can get at least five to seven seasons, if not more. I think it’ll do well on Netflix, Disney +, etc.
This is a great show! In these days of streaming, I think it’s hard to rank based on the old days of broadcast TV. I knew several folks who binge watched season 2. I’m glad it was renewed. I hope we can get at least five to seven seasons, if not more.
So happy for the renewal. Season 2 was much better than 1. Anyone who quit the show after season 1, you need to watch 2 and come back for 3. You WILL NOT regret it!
I am thrilled The Ark season 3 was renewed. Miss having space/sci-fi on regular TV. Wish there were more.
Season 1 was needed to find its footing. Season 2 was more enjoyable. Devlin and Glassner, they also worked on Stargate, which was (and still is) one of the better SciFi series out there.
That is the reason I did not gave up on ‘The Ark’ in Season 1. Base story-line is actually interesting, but production values in Season 1…were not great. Season 2 did improve on that, but it still is a SciFi series budgeted for the SyFy channel.
Still, it is a halfwaty decent SciFi series, so I’m happy that it gets a 3rd season.
Yeaaah and took this long to renew for S03
Of course happy that it happened. I hope they made S03 writing long ago & planned props in advance so that filming can begin before mid this year. Sharing good word about The Ark is el bueno move. Always good to stream it at evenings to wind-down
