Dark Matter Season 2: Is It Happening? Renewal Status Explained

by

As a seasoned lifestyle expert with a penchant for all things entertainment and a voracious reader, I must say that Apple TV+’s decision to renew Dark Matter for a second season has me both intrigued and slightly skeptical. While I wholeheartedly appreciate the bold moves in adaptation seen in shows like Big Little Lies, I can’t help but wonder if this choice might dilute the satisfying resolution of Blake Crouch’s original story.

The science fiction novel “Dark Matter” by Blake Crouch has been turned into a show on Apple TV+. Surprisingly, Apple recently decided to renew the series for a second season, even though the book’s ending seemed to offer a satisfactory conclusion.

At the end of the story, the character Jason Dessen (portrayed by Joel Edgerton in the series) manages to find his true family again in their original world. Yet, they encounter a predicament: evading pursuit from different iterations of Jason. To achieve this, they venture into the Box – a portal to other universes. In this critical decision, they entrust their son with choosing a new universe where they can live harmoniously, ensuring they remain united above all.

In a daring move similar to that of Big Little Lies’ first season, Apple has chosen to renew Dark Matter for another round, even though the book’s conclusion has already been reached. With Blake Crouch at the helm as showrunner, the upcoming season could delve deeper into the narrative, expanding on the storyline beyond what was presented in the novel. The audience is eagerly anticipating any fresh twists and additions that may emerge.

In a press statement, Blake Crouch mentioned that while creating and filming the initial season of Dark Matter, it emerged that there was far more to delve into. He emphasized that the series had merely touched upon the challenges faced by characters as they maneuvered through varying realities. Crouch hinted playfully, “Get ready to join us in the Box!”

In the second season, we anticipate the Dessen family’s journey as they venture into a fresh chapter within an entirely different cosmos. The narrative will explore their struggles more intensely, particularly focusing on their teenage son and the earth-shattering knowledge they hold, all while adapting to a realm that is not their own.

As a devoted reader, I can’t help but ponder on the intriguing implications of certain passages. They seem to suggest that Amanda Lucas, an alternate-universe therapist, could play a crucial role in Jason’s journey across dimensions. However, around three-quarters into the book, Amanda mysteriously vanishes, presumably because she couldn’t tolerate Jason’s relentless pursuit of his family, which had become increasingly dangerous and obsessive.

Hinting subtly, Crouch suggested that there are yet undiscovered secrets regarding the Dessen family if they move to a new residence. The narrative for Amanda could be reshaped, potentially introducing exciting prospects for the future of the Dessen family and their journeys. With the upcoming season, fans are left to wonder how these aspects will evolve and unfold.
