Syfy has ordered the launch of The Ark, a series about planetary colonization gone wrong, from Dean Devlin and Stargate SG-1‘s Jonathan Glassner.
Ordered straight to series for 12 episodes, with Glassner and Devlin serving as co-showrunners, The Ark is set The 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, Ark One’s remaining crew must become the best versions of themselves to stay on course and survive,” the synopsis tells us.
