Producer Dean Devlin Goes (Back) to Space

On his new SyFy show 'The Ark' and the evolving business of showbiz.

This week I’m pretty excited to be joined by Dean Devlin, whose work in movies like Universal Soldier, Stargate, and Independence Day I grew up loving. He works mostly in television now on series like The Librarians and Leverage, and has a new one out on SyFy debuting February 3: The Ark. We talk about his new show, how the business has evolved these last 30 years, and more on this week’s episode. If you enjoyed it, please share it with a friend! And make sure to check out The Ark, new episodes which will also hit Peacock a day after debuting on SyFy.

I can’t believe you got him on the show. Amazing.

Dean may be a self-proclaimed nerd, but he’s a cool nerd. And Dean, for those of us who’ve known you since the 80s, at least you’re still young at heart and having fun with what you do. 😅

The dude helped make the summer of 1996 one of the all time best summers. It's cool that you booked him!

The Devlin/Emmerich team is, I think, the first time I really recognized "filmmakers" beyond the stars of the movie. So ... it was cool!

I completely agree that I like my sci-fi to be fun, I enjoy some of the dark stuff too but there's nothing like a fun series.

I really liked the Librarians. I need to do a rewatch of it.
