In 1063 the US launched a space mission to populate the new world. But, what happened to the men, women and children aboard?

The miniseries thriller stars Brian Van Holt as the ship’s captain and Battlestar Galactica‘s Tricia Helfer portrays his power wielding wife. Ascension premiers November, 24 and is touted as a limited series, however if the show resonates with viewers, I predict that choice could be revised.
