The search for a new home continues in The Ark season 2 trailer

Brace yourselves for a new mission in the official trailer for The Ark season 2.

In the season 1 finale, the crew of Ark One reached what they thought would be their new home planet, Proxima B. However, Proxima B abruptly exploded, and Ark One suffered serious damage. The footage opens with Lt. Sharon Garnet (Christie Burke) plotting a course for a new planet that could become the new home of the human race. In season 2, the crew tackles a series of new challenges, from rival Ark vessels and electrical shocks to debris strikes and distress signals. “The job just got a lot harder,” Garnet tells her crew.

Set 100 years in the future, The Ark explores a planetary colonization mission to secure the survival of the human race. Season 2 will follow Ark One’s continued pursuit of a new planet, as they must “survive long enough to locate a new home for themselves and all the ships that follow.”
