SyFy have ordered a new sci-fi series titled The Ark with executive producers Dean Devlin (Stargate, Independence Day, The Librarians, The Outpost) and Jonathan Glassner (Stargate SG-1, Falling Skies, The Outpost).

Wasting no time at all - that's nice - it goes into production in March.

The synopsis:

The story is set 100 years in the future at a time when planetary colonization missions have become a necessity to secure the survival of the human race. The series follows the crew of the Ark One after they encounter a disaster on their mission with more than a year left to go before reaching their destination. They’ll grapple with a lack of life-sustaining supplies and a leadership vacuum, forcing the remaining crew to become the best versions of themselves to stay on course and stay alive.

There's nothing original in that but sci-fi fans lamenting the dark, gritty and too often straight up crazy turns which Stargate and Star Trek both took might find some appeal in the more inspirational tone of this.
