In Apple TV Plus’ riveting adaptation of Blake Crouch’s bestselling novel Dark Matter, Joel Edgerton plays a man who is abducted into an alternate universe and forced to live a life that isn’t his own. In this Goggler exclusive, we sat down with Dark Matter showrunner, Blake Crouch, and executive producer, Matt Tolmach, to talk about the process of adapting the source material for the small screen.
Dark Matter premieres on Apple TV Plus Wednesday May 8.
Hailed as one of the best sci-fi novels of the decade, Dark Matter is a story about the road not taken. The series will follow Jason Dessen, a physicist, professor and family man who — one night while walking home on the streets of Chicago — is abducted into an alternate version of his life. Wonder quickly turns to nightmare when he tries to return to his reality amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could have lived. In this labyrinth of realities, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from the most terrifying, unbeatable foe imaginable: himself.
Dark Matter was created by Blake Crouch and stars Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Connelly, Alice Braga, and Jimmi Simpson.
