Season 2 of 《Dark Matter》 follows the next chapter of Jason Dessen, who has returned to his family after passing through countless parallel worlds. The Dessen family finally begins a quiet life in a world that appears safe, but an unexpected event forces them to flee once again.
Jason becomes increasingly obsessed with the Box that leads to various realities, while Daniela’s growing suspicion of those around her threatens the stability of the family they have barely managed to reunite. Amanda and Ryan, left behind in another world, join forces to find a way home.
Meanwhile, Blair tries to stop Leighton’s plans, while Leighton continues the pursuit to create the perfect world he envisions. Expanding on Season 1’s question of “the life not chosen,” the season asks whether people can escape the temptation of choices and possibilities even after finding the reality they want.
