‘Dark Matter’ Season 2 Episode Lengths, Titles, and Descriptions

Dark Matter’s newest season is here; here is everything you need to know about it.

Here is everything you need to know about Dark Matter Season 2, including episode lengths, titles, and descriptions.

Dark Matter was originally meant to be a limited series, as it was based on showrunner Blae Crouch’s own novel, which Season 1 wholly adapts but Crouch decided that there was more story to tell, hence the start of Season 2. This season comes 2 years after the first finished airing as we follow the Dessens for another ride to the dark world of the multiverse.

Here is the logline for the season:

Season two picks up with the Dessens as they settle into a quiet life in a world that finally seems safe until the unimaginable forces them to run once again. As Jason’s (Edgerton) obsession with the Box deepens, Daniela’s (Connelly) growing paranoia pushes her to the brink, threatening to tear their fragile stability apart. Elsewhere, Amanda (Braga) and Ryan (Simpson) join forces in a desperate attempt to find their way home. With Blair (Brugel) determined to stop him, Leighton (Okeniyi) relentlessly chases his grand vision of creating a perfect world.
