Apple just dropped a trailer for another of its never-ending cavalcade of sci-fi shows. Dark Matter<\/em> stars Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly. It also happens to be based on a fantastic book by author Blake Crouch, which we recommended in 2021 after publication<\/a>. The show premieres on May 8 with two episodes.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve read the book, and love it, but there will be no real spoilers here. Dark Matter<\/em> follows a physicist as he gets involved with some serious sci-fi shenanigans. The trailer gives a bit of the plot away, enough to understand that these particular sci-fi shenanigans are of the multiversal variety. Again, the book is a rip-roaring page turner, so the show should follow suit. The rest of the cast includes Jimmi Simpson, Alice Braga, Dayo Okeniyi and Oakes Fegley.<\/p>\n

Crouch is actually the showrunner here, which is a first for the author. This isn\u2019t, however, the first TV show based on one of his books. Wayward Pines<\/em> ran on Fox for two seasons and was based on a series of novels. Good Behavior<\/em>, also pulled from a book series, aired on TNT back in 2016. The writer has penned a bunch of novels that haven\u2019t been turned into TV shows. We heartily recommend Upgrade<\/em>, which made our list of the best books of 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dark Matter<\/em> joins an absolutely stacked collection of sci-fi shows on Apple TV+. There are the heavy hitters like Severance<\/em>, For All Mankind<\/em> and Silo<\/em>, but also a bunch of lesser-known programs like Invasion<\/em> and the recently-released Constellation<\/em><\/a>. I\u2019m not done. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters<\/em> put Kurt Russell up against Godzilla<\/a> and Hello Tomorrow<\/em> is set in a retro-future wonderland. I\u2019m still not done. See<\/em>, Schmigadoon<\/em> and The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey<\/em> all have sci-fi elements. Finally, there\u2019s that fantasy show about an American college football coach who somehow becomes a soccer sensation<\/a> in the UK without actually knowing anything about the sport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
