Hailed as one of the best sci-fi novels of the decade, Dark Matter is a story about the road not taken. The series will follow Jason Dessen (played by Edgerton), a physicist, professor, and family man who — one night while walking home on the streets of Chicago — is abducted into an alternate version of his life. Wonder quickly turns to nightmare when he tries to return to his reality amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could have lived. In this labyrinth of realities, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from the most terrifying, unbeatable foe imaginable: himself.
Crouch serves as creator, executive producer, showrunner and writer alongside executive producers Matt Tolmach and David Manpearl for Matt Tolmach Productions. Edgerton also serves as executive producer. The series is produced for Apple TV+ by Sony Pictures Television.
Dark Matter joins a growing offering of broadly acclaimed, global hit sci-fi Apple Original series including the epic Foundation, which was recently renewed for a third season, as well as Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Silo, For All Mankind, Invasion and more.
