Ascension

Created by Philip Levens, Adrian Cruz

On Syfy

A claustrophobic sci-fi mystery that uses a century-long space voyage as a pressure cooker for paranoia and existential doubt, cut short before resolution.

In 1963, the U.S. government launched a covert space mission sending hundreds of men, women and children on a century-long voyage aboard the starship Ascension to populate a new world. Nearly 50 years into the journey, as they approach the point of no return, a mysterious murder of a young woman causes the ship’s population to question the true nature of their mission.
