Dark Matter (2015–2017) is a sci-fi television series that follows the crew of a mysterious spaceship, the Raza, who awaken from stasis with no memory of who they are or how they got there. Created by Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie, the show is set in a distant future where powerful corporations control much of space, and the crew must navigate a dangerous universe filled with shifting alliances, conspiracies, and high-stakes battles.
Each crew member is initially identified only by the order in which they woke up (One, Two, Three, etc.), and much of the show’s drama stems from their efforts to uncover their pasts. As they piece together fragments of their former lives, they discover that they were once a group of dangerous mercenaries with dark histories. This revelation forces them to confront the question of whether they are bound by their pasts or if they can choose to forge new identities.
Dark Matter blends action, mystery, and character-driven storytelling, offering viewers complex relationships and ethical dilemmas against a backdrop of space exploration. The series explores themes of identity, redemption, and trust while delivering engaging plot twists and a diverse ensemble cast. Despite a cult following, it was canceled after three seasons, leaving fans yearning for more.
