Apple TV+ Renews DARK MATTER For Season 2 with Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly
Apple TV+ has announced that its hit sci-fi thriller series Dark Matter starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly, has been renewed for Season 2.
I just finished watching the first season and it was really good! I didn’t really know what to expect from it when I started watching, but that show took me on a wild multiverse ride!
The series is based on the book by author Blake Crouch, and it tells 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.”
Showrunner and author Blake Crouch said in a statement: “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!”
Executive producer Matt Tolmach added: “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 two. Huge thanks to Apple TV+, Sony and our amazing cast and crew. Here we go!”
Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+ added: “The thought-provoking and gripping Dark Matter has quickly become a global hit, capturing audiences’ imaginations and making it a beloved and integral part of Apple’s world class sci-fi line up.
“We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with Blake Crouch, our partners at Sony and the rest of the creative team and cast — led by the remarkable Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly — on a new season that will captivate viewers with more twists and turns as we dive deeper into the mysteries of the multiverse.”
I’m looking forward to seeing where the story goes in Season 2.
