This might not be a great week for sci-fi shows of all stripes, since it’s been reported thatDisney+’s Star Wars showThe Acolyteisn’t going to get a second seasonafter its streaming numbers fell off, but Apple TV+ is bucking the trend.
The news spread this past weekend that its trippy sci-fi showDark Matterhas been renewed for a second season, bringing back its core cast (including Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly) to futher explore the mysteries set up in its first outing.

Of course, there’s a crucial difference betweenDark MatterandThe Acolyte– the latter had a distinctly mixed reaction from critics and audiences alike, whereasDark Matterlanded really quite well. It’s sitting on an 83% score from critics onRotten Tomatoes, while its audience score tracks at the exact same figure. A rare agreement indeed.
Those are the kind of reviews that Apple TV+ clearly has to be enjoying, and it’s seen fit to greenlight another season, which further cements it as thebest streaming servicefor fans of high-concept sci-fi. After all, it’s also the home ofSilo,Severance,Sunnyand more.
For those who didn’t realiseDark Matterwas around, let alone a success, a bit of a summary for you: it’s quite a conceptual show, featuring Jason Dessen playing a professor investigating the potential existence of parallel universes – before he’s suddenly abducted.

It’s a fun and twisty idea, and an impressively dark and realistic show – really, it’s more of a thriller with sci-fi elements than anything else. This means it’s a great fit for people who might not assume they’d love genre elements, a little likeSeverance.

Knowing we’ll get another dose of the show at some point is reassuring – although it’s probably going to take some time for production to spin up and get started. We’d assume that late 2025 is just about the earliest window whenDark Matterseason 2 could arrive.
