Despite the unnecessary over abundance of reboots, remakes and sequels in both movies and television, I think an Ark II series in the 2020s would be very appropriate today. And this time, a new and modern Ark II series would not be aimed specifically at child audiences on Saturday morning. New technologies in the area of renewable energy and conservation could be shown, developed and forecasted as to where they might advance in the second half of this century. Maybe one of the cable networks like HBO, AMC or A&E could take a chance on developing a successful series audiences would be interested in watching.

Here in 2023. There is now an impending computer game called Ark 2, or Ark II. It's a game sequel, planned for release next year. Yes, it's not the old show, which I used to watch as a kid, but it does have a similar premise of surviving, & of course a similar (or exact) title. The timeline is on another planet where you have to survive & your vehicle is not some RV-looking thing but rather riding dinosaurs, which on the surface is like being back into more primitive times, but the story is actually set in the future, much like in the this old TV show. Vin Diesel did voice acting & mo-cap as main character. As far as a proper remake or sequel to the TV show, I doubt it, as the show was somewhat boring to begin with. So if anything, this new computer game would be one of the close approximations & spiritual successor to the TV show, whether or not the game itself will be good & successful.
