ARK: The Animated Series (Season 1)

ARK: The Animated Series (2024) is an action sci-fi cartoon based on the survival game ARK: Survival Evolved, ready to watch online on iFILM. A prehistoric world of dinosaurs is shared by humans pulled from every era of history.

Twenty-first-century paleontologist Helena Walker wakes on the mysterious ARK after dying in the real world. To stay alive she has to learn the rules from scratch — find allies among the resurrected, dodge brutal warlords, and figure out what this place actually is. The voice cast is stacked: Madeleine Madden, Michelle Yeoh, Gerard Butler, David Tennant, Karl Urban, Vin Diesel, Russell Crowe and Malcolm McDowell.

Co-created by Jeremy Stieglitz, one of the original game's designers, the show treats its lore seriously — every creature and survival mechanic feels lifted straight from the source. It lands best with ARK players and anyone who likes their sci-fi grim. Stream ARK online on iFILM.
