Dark Matter Season 1 Ending Explained by Creator Blake Crouch

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Dark Matter Season 1.

Apple TV+'s sci-fi adaptation Dark Matter has concluded Season 1, but is that all there is to the story? According to author and showrunner Blake Crouch and executive producer Matt Tolmach (Venom: The Last Dance), yes, Season 1 was created to be "the best representation of the book as possible." However, a series format opens a whole box of possibilities, and Crouch isn't opposed to exploring more characters. In fact, maybe that even leaves room to revisit Alice Braga's (Queen of the South) fan-favorite, Amanda Lucas?

In addition to Braga, Dark Matter stars Joel Edgerton (The Gift), who brings Crouch's original character, Jason Dessen, to life on the screen as he travels through alternate realities in search of his true home and family. Other characters, some expanded for the show, include Oscar-winner Jennifer Connelly's (A Beautiful Mind) Daniela Vargas Dessen, Jimmi Simpson's (Westworld) Ryan Holder, Dayo Okeniyi's (See) Leighton Vance, and Oakes Fegley (The Fabelmans) as Jason and Daniela's son Charlie.

During their interview, Crouch and Tolmach discuss the likelihood that the "wrong" Jason returns in the end, what World 26 is, where the Dessen family ultimately ends up, and what changed throughout the editing process. Crouch explains why Season 1's finale is a "love letter" to all his book fans and shares which of his works he's eyeing for adaptations next, and Tolmach reveals why Sony's Kraven the Hunter moved its release date.
