Debuted on Paramount+ in March 2024, ARK: The Animated Series captivated its audience by bringing the prehistoric world to life. The first six episodes introduced viewers to Helena Walker’s adventure in a land full of dinosaurs and advanced technologies. Since the final episode aired, fans of the animated series eagerly wait for part two. When will it be released? What can you expect? We’ll be breaking down everything you need to know about ARK: The Animated Series Part 2!
When will Part 2 Release?
ARK: The Animated Series Part 2, episodes 7 through 13, is expected to release in 2025, but a date has yet to be confirmed. We suspect that it will air on Paramount+ in the later half of this year. The reason being that co-showrunner Jeremy Stieglitz indicated that approximately six additional months are needed for the visual effects and animation. The show will likely look better compared to Part 1 due to the enhancements in post-production, but means a longer waiting period for Part 2.
