What’s This TV Show About?
A sci-fi drama series airing on the Syfy cable channel, 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).
Season One Ratings
Airing on Wednesday nights, the first season of The Ark averaged a 0.06 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 398,000 viewers. 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. Find out how The Ark stacks up against other Syfy TV shows.
The Ark has been renewed for a second season which will debut on July 17, 2024. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will Syfy cancel or renew The Ark for season two? While other NBCUniversal channels are getting out of the original scripted series business, Syfy appears to be intent on growing its slate.

What do you think? Are you glad The Ark TV show has been renewed for a second season? How would you feel if Syfy had cancelled this TV series instead?
I’m relieved that “The Ark” has already been renewed for a second season. It’s not “taxing” (doesn’t call for a tremendous ‘suspension of disbelief’), it’s not “preachy”, minimal use of CGI, no “bug-eyed monsters”/aliens, and it’s clear that the actors/actresses enjoy their work and honor their craft (and the viewers). Excellent!
best show on tv.
Hope it’s renewed
I really did enjoy it…. hoping for a second season
Love The Ark. I hope it is renewed for many seasons

Syfy has not produced a good science fiction show in many years. Most of the programs they greenlight now are used simply as a platform to promote their own political beliefs rather than actually telling good stories. As a result, no one tunes in and the shows end up being cancelled after one single season. Syfy/NBC/Comcast don’t understand what science fiction fans want to see in a science fiction television show, and until they do, I’m not bothering to watch anything they put out.
Well they actually did make a very good scifi show not that long ago. The first 3 seasons of Expanse. And that’s it.
There was also a series called Defiance I think, it was good.
Budget seams so low, the quality is as low…
Bad acting, CGI, music, you name it.
Hope they’ll cancel it for ours eyes.
But the probably won’t because of the low cost.
Hope they don’t cancel it
