Syfy has renewed "The Ark" for a third season to premiere in 2026.

The Ark continues to be a surprisingly durable entry into the genre of aspirational science fiction shows!

Season 3 is greenlit, to be released in 2026. Sounds like Dean Devlin has succeeded in convincing NBCUniversal that what’s come so far is really just the prequel.

Calling out to all those interested in watching/rewatching seasons 1 & 2.

Our @thearkchat is set up for chat, news and watch parties.

We’ve agreed on a Saturday watch party slot. Now that we know season 3 is a go, hopefully we can broaden the interest.

Bei #TheArk kommen so richtig Star Trek Vibes auf, besonders in Staffel 2.

Following the massive cliffhangers featured at the end of the Season 2 finale of #TheArk, many have been wondering if the series will return. Luckily, Dean Devlin (showrunner and creator) recently addressed the show's future in a hopeful way. https://thedirect.com/article/the-ark-season-3-release

Not sure there’s actually anything more to this than Dean Devlin making best efforts to keep up a positive buzz towards a potential 3rd season for ‘The Ark’ in genre media, but it’s nice to see a some coverage from the red carpet at the Saturn Awards nonetheless.

‘In an exclusive interview with The Direct's Russ Milheim on the red carpet of the 52nd Saturn Awards in Los Angeles, California, The Ark creator and showrunner Dean Devlin was asked if he could share any details about Season 3, specifically about a renewal.

While Devlin's response was short, it will still give fans hope, as he simply replied, "Stay tuned."’

Love having your review!

Season 2 was announced last April so we wouldn’t expect an announcement for season 3 before then this year.

The show has good GenZ audience numbers on Syfy in the US. It dropped a bit in numbers in season 2 but still better than other Syfy shows that have been renewed.

It has a lot of potential to grow with Millennial, GenX and older fans of #StarTrek and #Stargate in my view. I would hope they’d give it enough time as you did to see what a great show it’s developing into.

Unfortunately, our group chat doesn’t have the ability to automatically boost from the hashtag (at least not yet). So I’m tagging to get it out there.

But it does have reach beyond Mastodon which makes it more inclusive than other options.

Glad you hung in with ‘The Ark’!

In my view season two is even better. I really wish they’d replaced that 1990s quality CGI title sequence, but we can still hope for it in a third season.

It’s interesting how streaming has made us so insistent that shows reach a certain peak in quality right out of the gate. It’s encouraging fast decisions on cancellations it seems and is getting in the way of experimentation and of new shows finding their audiences.

There’s a truism that after TOS, all new Star Trek shows need a couple of seasons to truly find their voice and quality. It’s said of other shows too. So when sci-fi television fans say they want older style shows, I feel we need to challenge them to hold their powder on criticism and them at least as many episodes as they gave the older shows to find their quality.

[I never realized how bad most of the first two seasons or The Next Generation are until I was curating a group of episodes to introduce our kids once they’d worked through TAS in primary school. (6 episodes out of 26 was my set for season one.)]

Anyhow, hope you’ll join our @thearkchat and rewatch parties yet to come, likely after the February sweeps cluster of new releases.

@mookie That's my opinion of #TheArk after watching 2 full seasons of it.

It's a #StarTrek wanna be w/o the panache but new episodes are set to be automatically recorded on my DVR & I'll continue to watch it if there's a Season 3, which is still in doubt.

Hello to all of you who expressed interest in ‘The Ark’ on Syfy (and elsewhere outside the USA).

I have been able to set up a bot to support sharing news, group chat, and watch/rewatch parties.

@thearkchat is now live!

We’re still awaiting news regarding a possible 3rd season, but in the meantime there’s lots to talk about in The Ark’s wild and wooly first 2 seasons.

Let me know when might be a good time for some watch parties!

Tagging some people and communities with similar fan interests to get the word out. Hope you don’t mind.
