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.

Ascension Ratings & Reviews

  • Zbigniew CzachorSeptember 9, 2025
    I cannot believe that someone made a decision to cancel this amazing show after just one season. Unforgivable! 🤬
  • Daniel GustavssonJanuary 5, 2025
    The show is pretty good, with some nice tension and story. The ending pretty much ruins it though.
  • ZokkiieJuly 8, 2025
    It starts strong with a cool 1960s space mission premise and a surprising early twist. The retro-futuristic setting looks great, and the mystery is intriguing at first. But the story gets a bit messy as it goes, with uneven pacing and a few underdeveloped characters. Still, it's a fun, different kind of sci-fi—worth a watch if you like your space dramas with a twist.
