Apple TV+ has picked up the television adaptation of Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter (showrun by Crouch himself) for a second season. The sci-fi thriller series, which stars Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly, ended its first season in late June, and the announcement that there will be more episodes is welcome news to many a fan.
“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,” showrunner and author Blake Crouch said in a statement. “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!”
Here’s the official synopsis for the show, if you’ve not watched or read Dark Matter:
Dark Matter is a story about the road not taken. The series follows Jason Dessen (Edgerton), a physicist, professor and family man who—one night while walking home on the streets of Chicago—is abducted into an alternate version of his life. Wonder quickly turns to nightmare when he tries to return to his reality amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could have lived. In this labyrinth of realities, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from the most terrifying, unbeatable foe imaginable: himself.
There’s no news yet on when the second season will go into production, much less make its way to Apple TV+. The first season, however, is now currently available for your streaming pleasure on the platform.
