Dean Devlin's latest SYFY series is now filming at PFI Studios in Belgrade, Serbia, and details of the cast have been released.

Created by Devlin ("Independence Day," "Stargate"), "The Ark" 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. 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.

Dean Devlin and Jonathan Glassner ("Stargate SG-1") are Co-Showrunners and executive produce alongside Marc Roskin and Rachel Olschan-Wilson of Electric Entertainment.

The main cast are:

Christie Burke as Lt. Sharon Garnet - a low-ranking officer, Lt. Sharon Garnet is not one to embrace the spotlight but she finds herself rising to the occasion when tragedy strikes Ark One.

Richard Fleeshman as Lt. James Brice, who oversees Ark One's navigation systems.

Reece Ritchie as Lt. Spencer Lane, another low-ranking officer, who believes only the strongest will survive and is resentful when his leadership skills are questioned.

Stacey Read as Alicia Nevins,  a brilliant young woman on the Waste Management team who is being wildly under-utilized.

Ryan Adams as Angus Medford, an insecure young man, except when it comes to his specialty: horticulture and farming.
