What This Means For The Ark Season 3

The Sci-Fi Drama Series Return Is Coming

The filming window forThe Arkshould be an encouraging sign, considering thatseason 3 was previously announced for 2026.Though a long wait, it may not be any more significant than season 2, which premiered on Syfy more than a year after season 1 concluded. As audiences prepare for what comes next,The Arkseason 2 finalecreated several compelling storylines for Sharon and her crew, while establishing Trappist as a usable environment for humanity, particularly once Evelyn Maddox was terminated by Kelly.

Trappist originally brought trouble toArk One, as season 2 revealed Evelyn was employing mind-control implants, which reached Sharon and nearly all of her crew. Once they regained full consciousness and freed the Trappist colonists, Sharon opted to locate more ships, instead of remaining on the planet.That decision will separateArk Onepersonnel for season 3, as James Brice and Alicia Nevins, among other characters, elected to join her. Given how connected everyone on boardArk Onehas become, it will be interesting to see how they adjust asThe Arkprogresses.

Our Take On The Ark Season 3

With filming scheduled to begin soon,there are questions season 3 will need to answer, including what happened to Ross 128 b. When trying to communicate during season 2, Sharon was surprisingly warned to stay away from Ross, leading audiences to suspect something bad or dangerous may be occurring. Then, Angus Medford unearthed a slate containing a foreign language, potentially signaling another existence. Given these details, and howArk Oneis presently divided,The Arkseason 3 can have characters involved in many different scenarios.
