It takes the “quality not quantity” approach to new content, but still gets new shows pretty regularly – with its latest dark sci-fi series starting to air on 8 May and bringing what looks like a nice twisty story to your screen.
That’s a trippy premise, and the show looks like it’ll lean into that tone pretty heavily, with disorientation and multiverse theories key to the whole thing. You get more than a hint of it from the trailer, above, which is a must-watch.
Dark Matteris based on a best-selling novel, which shouldn’t come as a surprise given how cerebral it is, and shows again that Apple seems to have a real penchant for high-concept shows, given the likes ofSeverance,ConstellationandFoundation,among others.
That’s made Apple TV+ a destination for sci-fi fans, withSiloandFor All Mankindrounding out the offering nicely, so here’s hopingDark Mattercan join the best of them. Sci-fi is very much the flavour of 2024 so far, with lots of streaming services offering some great options, such asFallouton Amazon.

On 8 May we’ll get the first two episodes, then they’ll come out weekly on a Wednesday, through to a finale on 26 June, so this is ideal if you’re looking for a show you can’t binge quite yet. It adds to the tension and ought to make for better viewing.
Edgerton’s character will seemingly go through some pretty mind-bending revelations as it all unfolds, and we’re hyped to see how he plays more than one version of himself, which is always a fun challenge for an actor.
