“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,” said Crouch. “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!”

Crouch serves as the mastermind, main producer, show director, and writer of the series alongside executive producer Matt Tolmach. Edgerton is also a key producer, as is Jacquelyn Ben-Zekry. Sony Pictures Television is the studio.

“Creating ‘Dark Matter’ was a long-held dream, and I'm incredibly proud to see Blake's vision come to life and resonate with so many people,” said Tolmach. “Witnessing the Dessens' journey connect with audiences has been incredibly rewarding, and we can't wait to bring more of this world — and others — to life in season two. A huge thank you to Apple TV+, Sony, and our amazing cast and crew. Here we go!”

The official description for the series explains that it follows “Jason Dessen (Edgerton), a physicist, professor and family man who — one night while walking home on the streets of Chicago — is taken to an alternate version of his life. His initial wonder quickly transforms into a nightmare when he tries to return to his reality amidst the mind-bending landscape of lives he could have lived. In this labyrinth of realities, he embarks on a perilous journey to get back to his true family and save them from the most terrifying, unbeatable enemy imaginable: himself.”
