## Key points

- Daniela and Charlie are stranded in the box.
- Leighton’s death was planned from the start.
- A possible third season would conclude the series.

## Summary

Season 2 of *Dark Matter* ends with Daniela and Charlie trapped inside the box just as Jason and his allies shut it down, leaving the family separated and the story unresolved. Showrunner Blake Crouch says there is no decision yet on a third season, but the team has a plan for one that would bring the series to a close.

Crouch says the finale’s key outcomes were planned from the start: Leighton would be killed by Olu, and Daniela and Charlie would be stranded. The ending also hinges on Jason missing Daniela’s note that she went into the box after Charlie. Crouch describes Olu’s unusual use of the pyramid as entering the corridor through meditation, without the drug normally needed to make it visible.
