Less than two months after the season one finale of Dark Matter, Apple TV+ decided to run it back and give the science fiction thriller a second season. Viewers will be able to find out what’s next for the Dessen family.
The series is an adaptation of the novel of the same name written by New York Times best selling author, Blake Crouch. The story follows a man named Jason Dessen who is abducted during a walk one night and finds himself in an alternate version of his life. He must find a way back home to save his family from himself; one of his more dangerous variants.
Dark Matter stars Joel Edgerton in the lead with Academy Award winner Jennifer Connelly, Alice Braga, Jimmi Simpson, Dayo Okeniyi and Oakes Fegley. Crouch serves as creator, executive producer, showrunner and writer alongside executive producer Matt Tolmach. In addition to starring, Edgerton serves as executive producer with Jacquelyn Ben-Zekry.
Crouch had this to say about the renewal:
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!”
