The Ark has landed! Well, kind of. We’ve got a whopping fifteen seconds of footage from Syfy’s The Ark today, which shows not very much but hey, at least it’s something!
The clip is set to ethereal music and gives us very quick cuts of a generation spaceship (the titular Ark, one assumes) interspersed with the crew on board freaking out. This tracks with the synopsis of the show, which tells us that a catastrophic event occurs on the spacecraft a year out from reaching its planetary destination. Lots of people die, and those left alive have to deal with a power vacuum (the leadership were some of the people who were killed) and the loss of necessary supplies to keep them alive for the rest of their journey. It doesn’t sound like a great situation to be in!
The Ark stars Christie Burke, Richard Fleeshman, Reece Ritchie, Stacey Read, and Ryan Adams. It comes to us from Dean Devlin (Independence Day, Stargate) and Jonathan Glassner (Stargate SG-1). The two are co-showrunners and executive produce the series along with Marc Roskin and Rachel Olschan-Wilson of Electric Entertainment. Jonathan English of Balkanic Media and Steve Lee serve as producers.
While the clip above is brief, we also learned that the release month for the show is February 2023, which is just eight or so weeks away! And if that isn’t enough (it wasn’t), we also now have a poster that shows someone screaming into the vacuum of space, in case you need an additional hint as to what the tone of this show will be like.
