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?
it seems that everytime I get involved in what I feel is a great tv show, it gets cancelled. I hope this is not one. I love dark matter!
Dark Matter averaged 1.8 million viewers.DARK MATTER RENEWED FOR SECOND SEASON ON SYFY.
Great show!! Hope it gets renewed!
Hope this show gets renewed! Would it have more viewers if it were on a different night?
I really like this show and hope it gets renewed. I recorded every episode on the DVR to make sure not to miss one.
This show is a bomb. Fire down till the 5 years complete
Loved this SciFi series! This is the closest I have seen to a Firefly or Star Trek series for quite a long time. Of course it should be renewed.
It took a few episodes for me to get hooked, but I am truly hooked. I really hope Dark Matter gets renewed!
Killjoys has been renewed for Season 2 still waiting on Dark Matter but since they both exist in the same universe and a Cross-Over is planned how can they renew one and not the other? Dark Matter is really great it deserves a season 2 and the creators have a 5 year story arc planned.
I believe you’re mistaken. Killjoys hasn’t been renewed yet.
Love the show. well written and well acted.
All of the recent genre shows are excellent. I don’t bother to compare killjoys and DM. They can exist at the same time. I really hope this and killjoys get another season!!!
Damn it is a good time to be a geek. I could list all the amazing shows but we’d be here all day.
I enjoy this program very much and would love to see Season 2.
It would be interesting to see what the writers do with the characters in the second season. I hope we get to see them visit strange new worlds and planets rather than stuck on a spaceship fighting each other. I would like to see them use their real idendity as forenames. It’s just silly being labelled a number.Renew !!!
This show is my favorite! The writing is amazing, and the actors are perfect for it. There’s always that mystery that keeps me guessing! This show is Way way better than kill joys…
I want to see more!!!!
i love dark matter, great acting and great writing. they trust each other but they dont at the same time. the action is very good and well placed. its not like the older campy shows that were flooding the airways a few years back. this show is a winner.
