The most intimate multiverse series is returning. With Dark Matter Season 1, Apple TV brought Blake Crouch’s hit novel to life and even managed to expand the boundaries of its multiverse, while staying utterly true to the source material. That said, Crouch didn’t write a novel sequel to Dark Matter, meaning there’s not really any published material to draw upon for the show’s second season. Which means, with Dark Matter Season 2, the story of the Dessen family in the multiverse can go in almost any direction. As Crouch told Inverse in 2024: “As the writer, I know these characters, and I can imagine where they might go after.”
As with Season 1, Crouch himself is the showrunner and head writer for Season 2, meaning his vision for the expanding multiverse of Dark Matter could come from ideas he had while working on the novel, or entirely new concepts. As of right now, Apple has revealed the premise and release date for Dark Matter Season 2. Here’s what we know, plus new first-look images from Season 2.
