Syfy has picked up “Stargate” writer Dean Devlin’s new drama series “The Ark” with twelve episodes ordered. Production will begin in Serbia in March at PFI Studios.
The story begins a century in the future when planetary colonization missions have begun to help secure the survival of the human race.
The first of these missions, 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, the remaining crew must become the best versions of themselves to survive.
Devlin is writing the series with he and Jonathan Glassner (“Stargate SG-1”) serving as co-showrunners and executive producers. The pair previously worked together on the fantasy series “The Outpost”.
