The Ark has brought an end to its first season. Of course, it ended on a cliffhanger, and now we need to know if Season 2 is happening.

It wasn’t surprising to see a cliffhanger at the end of The Ark Season 1. Even without a guarantee of a second season, the writers had to offer something that would make people want more of this sci-fi series

The end of the first season saw some good things happen to the crew of Ark One. However, it ended with a shocking explosion and Ark One being potentially left dead in the water. Ark Fifteen is willing to help, but just how many people have survived the incident in space?

Will we get a second season to find out? Are the crews of Ark One and Ark Fifteen going to forever be left out in the cold?

The Ark Season 2 is officially happening

There is some good news for fans of the sci-fi series. The Ark has been renewed for a second season. This news came just ahead of the penultimate episode, which certainly made things a little easier going into it. It also made the finale much easier to handle.

What we don’t know is when the second season will arrive. SYFY has seen yearly releases in the past. It’s also had to hold off from releasing new episodes now and then. Resident Alien saw just a year between Seasons 1 and 2, but then Season 2 had more episodes and was a split season. This meant Season 3 didn’t premiere at the end of January—we got this series instead.

So, when can we expect Season 2? We’d say February 2024 at the very earliest, but we may have to wait a little longer. We’ll be sure to keep an eye on things.
