As Dark Matter has aged it has become deeper, richer, and more complex, making the announcement that Syfy had renewed the series for a season 3 all the more welcome. When the renewal news came in just before season 2 ended, viewers were assured that the shocking cliffhanger would not be the show’s final bow.
Dark Matter has taken advantage of its strengths this season, concentrating on the strange origins and complicated pasts of the Raza crew members. The series follows the ex-criminals as they attempt to live their lives away from the clutches of those who have past grudges or current designs on their unique strengths. A formidable ensemble cast of characters gives this show a wealth of story potential that it has fully taken advantage of.
The Dark Matter season 3 renewal was not unexpected as the the show’s average ratings have been very steady, along with its Killjoys lead-in on Fridays. In fact, viewership even increased as the season went along with the average weekly total being around 690,000 viewers, which is at the top end of the norm for Syfy’s scripted offerings.
