What is the new Dark Matter series about?
In this new television adaptation of the 2016 science fiction thriller novel of the same name, Aussie actor Joel Edgerton portrays former physicist Jason Dessen.
Seemingly living a good life with his wife Daniela (Connelly) and their son Charlie (Oakes Fegley). That is until one day, he doesn’t make it home and finds himself waking in a world he doesn’t recognise.
It turns out that Jason is “abducted into an alternate version of his life” by none other than himself, or another version of himself, rather. Desperate to return to his own family, he must learn to navigate a multiverse of realities that he himself had created.
His return to his own universe is made more imperative by the fact that the man posing as him and interacting with his family may have come to inflict them harm.
“Dark Matter” book author Blake Crouch, who serves as the showrunner, wrote the series alongside Megan McDonnell, Jacquelyn Ben-Zekry, and Ihuoma Ofordire. Jakob Verbruggen, who also worked on another Apple TV+ series (Invasion), directed the episodes. Crouch, Edgerton, David Manpearl, and Matt Tolmach are executive producers.
Dark Matter is a 2024 series created for Apple TV+, not to be confused with the series of the same name that aired on Syfy from 2015 to 2017.
