As a seasoned sci-fi enthusiast with over three decades of immersion in parallel universes, alternate realities, and multiverse storytelling, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the renewal of Dark Matter for a second season on Apple TV+. Having traversed the labyrinthine timelines of Doctor Who and battled the interdimensional horrors of The OA, I can confidently say that Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Connelly, and their co-stars are in capable hands with Dark Matter’s creative team.
Apple TV+ has commissioned a new installment of Dark Matter, after the initial season received favorable reviews.
In an alternate reality thriller, Joel Edgerton (playing Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Jennifer Connelly (from Top Gun: Maverick) headline the cast. The story revolves around a character who, having been kidnapped into a more ominous version of his life, strives to return home.
The series belongs to the current surge in narratives exploring multiple universes, fueled by hit films such as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: No Way Home, along with the Academy Award-winning film Everything Everywhere All at Once.
In recent periods, audiences seem to be losing interest in this specific genre, and that’s something that was even mentioned in July’s Deadpool & Wolverine. However, Dark Matter manages to shine as one of the most successful attempts in exploring alternate realities on screen.
Looking forward to joining Edgerton’s character, Jason Dessen, on our next thrilling adventure? Here’s what we currently know about the second season of Dark Matter on Apple TV+.
Dark Matter season 2 release date speculation
As I write this, there isn’t an officially announced release date for Dark Matter season 2 yet, however, by looking at the timeline of other science fiction series on Apple TV+, we can roughly estimate when it might be coming out.
Viewers are eagerly anticipating the series to adhere to a release pattern akin to For All Mankind, typically releasing new episodes every 13-15 months without significant gaps between seasons.
Yet, it’s essential to consider the potential scenario where Dark Matter might experience an extended hiatus similar to Foundation and Invasion, shows that took nearly two years to release their respective second seasons.
Given the circumstances, we’re playing it safe and anticipating that Season 2 of Dark Matter could debut anywhere from around late 2025 to early 2026.
There’s a good chance our show will have a shorter production hold-up compared to Severance, which apparently experienced complications due to creative differences regarding the plotline – even though executive producer Ben Stiller has attempted to dismiss such speculations.
In August 2024, just under two months after the season finale, I was thrilled to learn that my favorite show, Dark Matter, had been officially renewed for a second season.
Dark Matter season 2 cast speculation: Who could return?
Although the official cast list hasn’t been announced, it’s likely that many of the Season 1 actors will reprise their roles. Notably, our lead character, Joel Edgerton, who serves as both a star and executive producer, is set to return as physicist Jason Dessen (and his counterparts from alternate realities).
In the main cast, Jennifer Connelly and Alice Braga play the roles of Daniela and Amanda, who are romantic partners to the character named Jason from different worlds. The ensemble is rounded out by Oakes Fegley, Jimmi Simpson, and Dayo Okeniyi as Charlie, Ryan, and Leighton respectively.
Without a shadow of a doubt, we expect some fresh faces joining our cast for season 2. As soon as these new members are officially confirmed, we’ll make sure to update this page.
Dark Matter season 2 plot speculation: What could happen?
At this point, details about the storyline for Dark Matter’s second season are scarce, but what we can confirm is that the original creative team behind the series – which includes author and chief writer Blake Crouch, along with executive producer Matt Tolmach – will be back on board.
In a statement, Crouch shared: “While penning and recording season 1, we uncovered an abundance of untold stories, and it seems we’ve barely begun to explore these characters’ journeys as they battle for survival and seek their way home amidst a world filled with thought-provoking mysteries. Join us again in the Box!”
In other news, Apple TV+’s programming chief Matt Cherniss hinted that Season 2 would offer “even more surprises and intricacies as we delve further into the enigmas of the multiverse”.
Is there a Dark Matter season 2 trailer?
Not just yet! But we’ll update this page once any footage arrives.
Dark Matter is available to stream on Apple TV+.
