When a trip into space is needed to save humanity, what happens? Dean will let us know. The Ark is a new show from the producer of mega sci-fi hits such as Independence Day, Stargate, and Universal Soldier.
A group of humans are going to colonize another planet on a ship called Ark One in the future. If the survivors want to save all of humanity, they must survive the disaster on the ship. The series will be written by and co-showrunner with Jonathan Glassner, who started his career as a writer and producer. The hugely successful Stargate SG-1 was turned into by Glassner. Jonathan Glassner and I are so excited to be working together again, and I can't think of a better person to bring this series to life," he said in a statement to Variety.
The Ark is one of the new shows that the network sees as similar to Resident Alien and Chucky. The Ark is a perfect fit for the audience of the cable network, as it is a heart-racing story from Dean Devlin, one of the most accomplished and respected sci-fi writers working today. The network is home to several of the most creative storytellers working in all of television, with the recent success of Resident Alien and Chucky.
You would think that Glassner and Devlin would hope for more episodes of the show. The basic set-up of the story feels like a great place to start, as a crew of humans who thought they were going to repopulate another world are now struggling to survive. The season-ending hatch is almost like space Lost, where you get to the planet and see how it works.
