The Ark, a sci-fi series created by Stargate co-writer Dean Devlin and fellow franchise veteran Jonathan Glassner, returns for its third season on Syfy. The news comes as fans mourn Amazon's reported cancellation of a separate Stargate revival that was to be led by writer Martin Gero, a decision that triggered fan campaigns calling for the project to be reinstated. With that revival shelved, attention is turning to The Ark as an alternative for fans seeking ambitious space-set science fiction from one of the genre's original creative figures.

The Ark first premiered on 1 February 2023 and is set 100 years in the future, following the crew of the spacecraft Ark One as they search for a new home after Earth becomes uninhabitable. When disaster strikes the ship en route, the surviving crew must fight the odds to secure humanity's survival. Season 3 arrives nearly two years after the Season 2 finale, with new episodes set to begin airing imminently.
