Series · 2014

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.

The sides of Ascension

  • A starship launched in 1963 on a century voyage
  • Hundreds of families living in a 1960s world
  • The murder of a young woman on board

Ascension is good for you if…

  • you like an early reveal that makes you see everything before it differently.
  • you like a murder investigation in a closed world.
  • you like a generation ship frozen in early 1960s style.

Ascension is bad for you if…

  • you lose track of a big cast, from the captain's quarters to the lower decks.
  • you need momentum. Much of it is shipboard gossip and class politics between the decks.
