Dark Matter may not being coming back to television, but is there still a future for the story? Recently, co-creator Joseph Mallozzi discussed his plans for the future of the cancelled Syfy TV show.
As reported earlier, Syfy recently cancelled the space-set drama after three seasons. The cast includes Marc Bendavid, Melissa O’Neil, Anthony Lemke, Alex Mallari Jr, Jodelle Ferland, Roger Cross, and Zoie Palmer.
On his blog, Mallozzi revealed he plans on completing the Dark Matter story as a comic book:
All good things must come to an end – some much sooner than expected. Sadly, such is the case for Dark Matter. Despite word of the cancellation by syfy, fandom rose up and gave us new hope. We sought to buck the odds and find our little show a new home. But unfortunately, I just learned that our final option has proven unworkable due to contractual issues. It’s a shame because these potential saviors reached out to me and offered a creative solution that, had it worked, would have been a sci-fi fan’s dream scenario. But, alas, it was not to be. In time, I would love to tell you all about it.
As for what’s next for Dark Matter? My first choice would be to complete the story in comic book format where it originally began, but I’ve just started to look into the possibility now. Beyond that, I’m not sure.
Thank you to my cast and crew who made it all possible.
And an especially HUGE THANK YOU to all of you, the viewers and fans, who made Dark Matter one of syfy’s most watched shows and who rallied and made your voices heard these past few weeks.
I said it before and I’ll say it again…
You all deserved better.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Dark Matter? Would you read the show as a comic book?
Well what do you expect from Syfy… msg to the creator of this great show, if you ever come up with another good show, don’t sell it to Syfy… Find something more reputable.
I think that it was wrong of syfi to cancel the Dark Matter series, as i thought it was one of the better shows, and really looked forward to the next air date, why does it always have to come down to greed, when a good show finally comes along that the fans support? Why can’t you just forget about trying to always go for the almighty buck and stay with those who support your shows, with faithfulness by watching the series. I hope that at sometime you may reconsider your choice of cancelling the series and realize that its… Read more »
Oh my gosh! SyFy come on! This is the best, clean, and entertaining show out there. Awesome acting, great story development, and great effects. Go throw some other show away and keep this amazing show. If this sticks I will refuse to watch SyFy shows due to their obvious lack of understanding and comprehension of their audience and quality of shows.
Maaaan this is some ********! Wynonna Earp stays but Dark Matter go’s? What a buncha fk’n crap!
I don’t read comic books. I will miss this series and I can’t believe it is being cancelled and the co-creator apologized for it? What for, excellent writing, wonderful acting, great escapism entertainment? I wish AMAZON would pick this one up too.
A dark matter, indeed. Sorry to see it go.
I like to read, but don’t waste my time with a comic book. I’ll pay $25 for a novel, but I am not paying that for a graphic novel that comes out in 3 or more installments. I already know what the characters look like and I can see the action in my mind.
You kept Killjoys, a substantially stupid show and cancelled Dark Matters, a substantially brilliant show. Figures. SyFi, you really need a brain transplant! I used to watch you a lot. No more….
With so much mindless trash on TV, why cancel such a terrific show? The hallmark of this series was in the character development; We got to know these people, and we cared about what had happened, and was going to happen, to them. I don’t see how a comic book could do it justice; there’s no going back for me. I loved the cast and I hope they go on to do great things!
SciFy Finally gets a good show and they cancel it?
Really
Lot of bad stuff on Scify, it used to be good but has lost any
allure for me.
Please bring back Dark Matter!!! It’s well written, has amazing actors/actresses and it’s got great effects. Please!
syfy channel is making bad decisions with good shows.
Dark Matter, one of the best SciFi shows I’ve seen in years! Really sad it’s been cancelled.
I Prefer to watch Dark Matter season 4 vise comic book. Or at least a few episodes to give it a great closing.
started as a comic book
