The Ark is coming to Syfy this February. The cable channel has released a trailer teasing the new sci-fi series from Dean Devlin (Leverage). Starring Christie Burke, Richard Fleeshman, Reece Ritchie, Stacey Read, and Ryan Adams, the series is set 100 years into the future, where the human race is looking to colonize other planets in order to survive.
Syfy revealed more about the new series in a press release.
Created by Dean Devlin, “The Ark” takes place 100 years in the future when planetary colonization missions have begun as a necessity to help secure the survival of the human race. The first of these missions on a spacecraft known as Ark One encounters a catastrophic event causing massive destruction and loss of life. With more than a year left to go before reaching their target planet, a lack of life-sustaining supplies and loss of leadership, the remaining crew must become the best versions of themselves to stay on course and survive.
The series stars Christie Burke, Richard Fleeshman, Reece Ritchie, Stacey Read and Ryan Adams.
Dean Devlin (“Independence Day,” “Stargate”) and Jonathan Glassner (“Stargate SG-1”) are co-showrunners and executive producers alongside Marc Roskin and Rachel Olschan-Wilson of Electric Entertainment. Jonathan English of Balkanic Media and Steve Lee serve as producers
A specific premiere date for the series will be announced later. Check out the trailer for The Ark below.
What do you think? Are you excited to see The Ark on Syfy this February?
I just find The Ark is too closely related to the SyFy show The 100. Does anyone else think the same?
To be honest, I’m surprised anyone watches anything on Sci-fi. They have a terrible habit of cancelling shows after a cliff hanger. I now avoid at all costs.
I wish the show luck, but I cancelled my cable TV over a year ago and I no longer have access to it.
I am excited for new syfy material. I miss the expanse!
