TV shows that are based on comic books seem to be all the rage these days but they’ve found mixed success in the ratings. The Flash and Arrow are hits but Constantine was cancelled. How will the newest one, Dark Matter, perform for Syfy? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On Dark Matter, the crew of a derelict spaceship is awakened from stasis with no memories of who they are or how they got on board. Facing threats at every turn, they have to work together to survive a voyage charged with vengeance, betrayal and hidden secrets. The show’s cast includes Marc Bendavid, Melissa O’Neil, Anthony Lemke, Alex Mallari Jr, Jodelle Ferland, Roger Cross, and Zoie Palmer.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
9/1 update: Dark Matter has been renewed for a second season of 13 episodes. Details here.
Final season averages: 0.24 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.01 million total viewers.

What do you think? Do you like the Dark Matter TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I’m so inlove with this series I really hope it gets renewed so upset that constantine wasn’t renewed looking forward to a season 2
Please renew dark matter. One of the best shows out there
Not since Farscape and firefly have I seen a show I’ve enjoyed this much. I hope I’m wrong, but syfy has a history of dumping the better shows for garbage like wwe wrestling and psuedo reality junk. I hope they decide to keep dark matter and killjoys. I’ve found them thoroughly entertaining and found myself anticipating the next episode of both..
I love this show. It has all kinds of potential. Renew
I love it. I’m usually quite critical when it comes to sci-fi shows – and it’s been a while (afaicr) since I saw one that I *really* liked…but I like this one. Sure, it’s not Lawrence of Arabia (or Firefly – that everyone keeps comparing it too) but I think it’s very good – certainly has that SGA/SGU vibe going for it. I hope it gets renewed.
RENEW The story and the characters are building and developing the way a series should really enjoying it the actors work well together
This is the best show I have seen in a long time! Hats off to the actors and writers! Renew !
Hope they renew both killjoys and dark matter! Great story lines great action so awesome to see syfi get back to its actual Sci-fi roots!!
Portia Lin (Two) – She is half human, half android (superhuman) – advanced android that has all the organs of a human, and GA doesn’t have any record of such technology because its illegal. I like that. It’s amazing and fantastically. Beautiful TV show ! Renew !
Finally have a space scifi show to watch since Farscape and so far I freaking love this show. Always wondering what’s going to happen next, great actors/actresses especially since it has Jodelle ferland! Please renew for a second season, this show has a lot of potential and already it has impressed me and I’m a hardcore scifi enthusiast
I was sure about the beginning but its getting better by the minute.. I love it ! Brilliant series!!!!! Renew !
Best space show ever.Love the show. Finally there is something out there like firefly. Renew!
This show is fantastic. The acting is very competent and professional.After watching too many medieval world series, doctors, zombies and crime/police series it is actually good to have this.PLEASE renew it!
I love this show.. it’s way better then Andromeda.I really hope this gonna become one of the best shows!!! For start it’s great and i think it’s will be much interesting… Well time shows everything. Zoe Palmer as the android is too good to be true. hot! hot! hot!,android. Spectacular ! Renew.
Good character focused scifi adventure with a lot of potential, and character driven shows always take some time to really get started. It’s a budget show, and uses that budget on what matters, and the acting is good, sometimes even great. Anthony Lemke is amazing.Who is Titch, and what happened in their life to turn them into a hardened criminal? That was one of the key questions posed in Episode 6 of Dark Matter.Five was betting those memories belonged to One, but I think it was Three. He’s just the type of guy to put up a tough front to… Read more »
I was wondering if those were Three’s memories as I can’t see a former Corporate Exec being raised on a farm.
