The Ark Is Back! First look at Season 2 of Hit SYFY Series; July Premiere Date Revealed
The hit series from Dean Devlin and Jonathan Glassner returns to SYFY this July!
Are you ready to face more galactic threats in Season 2 of The Ark? SYFY announced today that the hit series — co-created by showrunners Dean Devlin (Independence Day) and Jonathan Glassner (Stargate SG-1) — will officially return with brand-new episodes on the evening of Wednesday, July 17 at 10/9c. In the meantime, you can stream all 12 episodes of the first season on Peacock right now!
Set 100 years in the future, the show takes place aboard the Ark One, an interstellar vessel carrying humanity's last hope for survival. When an unforeseen accident kills off a large chunk of essential crew members, the remaining passengers must band together and complete the mission of finding, and colonizing, another habitable planet. "In Season 2, 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," reads the official synopsis.
“We couldn’t be more excited to get back into space with the crew of the Ark. SYFY continues to be an amazing partner and home for this series,” Devlin and Glassner said in a joint statement last year.
