Syfy orders space series The Ark from Dean Devlin

Variety

The Stargate co-creator is writing the 12-episode sci-fi drama series that "takes place 100 years in the future when planetary colonization missions have begun as a necessity to help secure the survival of the human race," per Variety. "The first of these missions on 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 stay on course and survive."
