Dark Matter, the sci-fi drama, is coming back for a second season on Apple TV+.
“Thanks to everyone who tuned-in for Season 1 — book fans and new fans — and of course our partners at Apple and Sony, my amazing producing partner, Matt Tolmach, our tremendous cast and crew, and the great city of Chicago — you were so good to us,” author/showrunner Blake Crouch said in a statement. “In the process of writing and filming Season 1, we discovered that there’s so much more story to tell, and we’ve only scratched the surface of these characters as they fight for survival and to find their way home through a landscape of mind-bending realities. See you in the Box!”
Blake Crouch expressed immense gratitude to everyone involved in Season 1. He mentioned that they’ve just begun exploring the characters’ stories as they navigate through strange realities.
“Making Dark Matter was a longtime dream, and I’m so proud to see Blake’s vision come to life and to connect with so many people. Seeing the Dessens’ journey resonate with audiences has been extremely gratifying, and we can’t wait to bring more of this world — and others — to life in Season 2. Huge thanks to Apple TV+, Sony and our amazing cast and crew. Here we go!”
Matt Tolmach shared how thrilled he was to see Blake’s dream come true with Dark Matter. He’s excited about continuing the journey with the audience into new worlds in Season 2.
The show is based on Crouch’s book from 2016. It stars Edgerton as Jason Dessen, a physicist who gets kidnapped and wakes up in a different version of his life. As he tries to return home, he faces his greatest enemy: himself.
The cast includes Jennifer Connelly as Jason’s wife Daniela, Alice Braga as Amanda Lucas, Jimmi Simpson as Ryan Holder, Dayo Okeniyi as Leighton Vance, and Oakes Fegley as Charlie.
Fans gave the season finale on June 26 a “B+,” while Season 1 overall got an “A-.” Apple TV+ head of programming Matt Cherniss promised more surprises in Season 2 as they explore the multiverse deeper.
We can’t wait to see what happens next!
