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.

So, amidst everything else flooding the zone, I missed this report earlier in the week.
The Star Trek Section 31 movie broke the Nielsen top ten streaming movie chart for the week of January 20-26, 2025.
Despite the brigading, despite the dire predictions and fan complaints, it performed well enough in its first week - especially keeping in mind that Paramount+ has a smaller subscription base.
As my partner and I seem to be among the few willing to say we found it a lot of fun, even better on rewatch, I’m glad to see that it has other unvoiced supporters.
TrekMovie has the report.

This is news!
Akiva Goldsman to head up 3 reboots of mid-60s science fiction classic television shows.
I adored Time Tunnel and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
Land of the Giants never quite caught my interest but it’s definitely got monsters.
Given the level of investment in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and Lost in Space, we can expect these to be high end projects.

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.

Red flags on what Star Trek Section 31 will be: not good, and not what people expect from Star Trek. Disappointed.
Right 2025 is here! Which classic British Sci Fi TV show box-set should I rewatch on the colder winter nights? I have whittled it down to two 
I just found out there's whole episodes of Space Precinct on YouTube so that's my night sorted
I have compiled a list of my top 20 #Horror themed #StarTrek episodes, which I will soon put into a run of polls. There are more than a few references to #Alien and #TheThing and some good old fashioned #BodyHorror 
I have avoided using #TheBorg as frankly, those zombie space vampires are the show's most prominent horror creation, and the list could go on forever...

That’s a lot of Trek! I have watched it all as it came out with the exception of a few episodes in 1966 before the neighbour kid pushed me to try it in TOS season one. So, I am always impressed by younger newcomers who systematically binge to catch up.
Understand your love of ‘The Magicians’. 
I’d like to recommend however that you give ‘The Ark’ a try if you haven’t been already. Its second season finale just ran on Syfy US last week, and will be on Peacock as of this week. ‘The Ark’ is a Dean Devlin creation that appeals to a lot of Star Trek, Stargate and classic sci-fi television fans. Like 90s Star Trek, it’s getting better as it goes on. Hopefully, it will be renewed for more seasons.
Outside the US, it’s available in many countries but across a diversity of services. Check out the hashtags below to see if you might have it.
I am in the process of setting up a new group chat bot account for ‘The Ark’ that interested people in the fediverse will be able to follow.
There’s also interest in a group rewatch/watch and discussion here. I’ll be setting up a schedule in a few weeks. Input will be welcome!

V is a two-part 1983 US alien invasion sci-fi TV mini-series. Flying saucers arrive on Earth. The aliens appear to be friendly. Appearances can be deceptive. The special effects have a very 80s arcade game look. Fairly entertaining.

So, now I’m wondering about our German Star Trek fans here. Are you watching ‘The Ark’ at all?
I see that both seasons are streaming in Germany on Wow and Magenta.
@forschungstorte, @theresmiling, have you had a chance to view it yet?
September 13, 1999. Never forget…
25 years ago the moon blasted out of orbit, after an explosion of one of the nuclear waste storage sights, taking all hands of Moon Base Alpha with it.
No one knows the fate of these brave men and women…
