Dark Matter is a science fiction thriller on Apple TV, adapted from a novel by Blake Crouch and starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly. It follows a man whose life is upended when an alternate version of himself appears, pulling the story into questions of identity, choice and parallel realities. The show has been well received critically, including Emmy nominations, and is regarded as one of Apple TV's standout original series.
Apple TV is Apple's subscription streaming service, competing with the likes of Netflix and Disney+ largely on the strength of a smaller number of high-profile original shows. Ted Lasso, a comedy about an American football coach leading an English team, is another of its flagship titles and recently returned for a new season after a long gap since its previous run. Dark Matter's second season follows soon after, reflecting Apple's efforts to keep a steady stream of notable content coming to draw in and retain subscribers.
