Paramount Banking on Another Video Game Adaptation

 
Paramount+, home of the big-budget  Halo  live-action TV series, is betting on another video game property.
 
The Paramount Global-backed streamer will be the home of  Ark: The Animated Series,  which is based on the popular adventure video game  Ark: Survival Evolved.  The first six episodes of the animated series, which features an all-star voice cast that includes Michelle Yeoh and Vin Diesel, launched March 21 on the platform. Part two of the season will launch its seven-episode run at a date to be determined on Paramount+.
 

 
The  Ark  series adaptation was first announced in 2020 as production on the show began without a streaming home to release it. The show is described as a “sweeping saga spanning eons of human history. When 21st century paleontologist Helena Walker (Madeleine Madden) finds herself resurrected on a mysterious primeval island populated by prehistoric beasts, she must learn to survive with new allies from throughout time, while trying to uncover the true nature of their strange new world.”
 
The cast also includes Russell Crowe, Gerard Butler, David Tennant, Jeffrey Wright and Elliot “Ellen” Page.
 
The  Ark  game was launched in 2015 by Studio Wildcard and sold north of 1 million units in its first month alone.
