What Happened in ‘The Ark’ Season 1?
Last season,The Arkexplored themes of disaster, loss, and uncertainty, particularly focusing on how the crew copes with the unknown as they journey towards a new planet. Set 100 years in the future, the series follows the thousands of people aboard the colony ship Ark One,whose mission to start a new life on another planetis disrupted by a tragic occurrence that kills most of the passengers and destroys parts of the ship.
With more than a year left before reaching their destination, the remaining crew must learn to cope quickly amidst loss and a lack of essential supplies.The first seasonfinale laid the groundwork for much of what’s to unfold inThe ArkSeason 2. In Season 1, Ark One required help from Ark 15 and its dodgy captain, Evelyn Maddox — a surprising turn of events given that Ark 15 was largely responsible for most of the deaths on Ark One, as well as the complete disappearance of Ark 3.
Devlin and Glassner, the show’s showrunners and executive producers, have expressed their excitement about furtherexploring space with the crew ofThe Ark. With Devlin’s background in disaster movies and Glassner’s experience in science fiction, the collaboration has led to a massive success, garnering over 1 million viewers for the pilot episode alone.
Syfy’sThe ArkSeason 2 is set to premiere on Wednesday, July 17 at 10 PM ET on Syfy, and these first-look images have certainly whetted our appetite for the adventures to come. While you count down the days until the Season 2 premiere, Season 1 ofThe Arkis available to stream on Peacock.
