More of the story to tell

Blake Crouch spoke of the hit series explaining why season 2 is a great idea:

Thanks to everyone who tuned-in for season one – 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.

In the process of writing and filming season one, 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!

“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,” said executive producer Matt Tomach. “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 two. Huge thanks to Apple TV+, Sony and our amazing cast and crew. Here we go!”

About Dark Matter

Produced by Sony Pictures for Apple TV+, Dark Matter tells the story of the road not taken. The show follows Jason Dessen (Edgerton), a physicist, professor and family man. One night while walking home on the streets of Chicago, Jason is abducted into an alternative version of his life.

Meanwhile, wonder soon turns to nightmare as he tries to return to his reality amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could have lived. Along the way, Jason embarks on a harrowing journey to return to his true family and save them from the most terrifying foe: himself.

Moreover, Dark Matter joins the list of hit sci-fi Apple TV+ series, including the much anticipated second seasons of Silo and Severance. Other hit sci-fi shows include For All Mankind, Invasion, Foundation and more.

While so far, no release date has been given for season 2 of Dark Matter, at least fans know there is more to come. The season 1 trailer is included for those who have yet to watch the sci-fi series.
