What’s This TV Show About?
A Syfy space opera, Dark Matter stars Marc Bendavid, Melissa O’Neil, Anthony Lemke, Alex Mallari Jr, Jodelle Ferland, Roger Cross, and Zoie Palmer. The science fiction drama series follows the crew of a derelict spaceship who awake with no memory of who they are or how they got on board. Still, they must work together to survive a threatening voyage charged with vengeance, betrayal, and plenty of secrets.
Season Three Ratings
The third season of Dark Matter averaged a 0.15 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 608,000 viewers. Compared to season two, that’s down by 13% and down by 10%, respectively. Find out how Dark Matter stacks up against other Syfy TV shows.
On September 1, 2017, Dark Matter was cancelled so there won’t be a fourth season. Could it be revived somehow? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Season three premiered with mediocre numbers but the ratings for Dark Matter have remained pretty consistent. Syfy seems to believe in the program since they added an after show — After Dark — this season. Dark Matter also airs on the Space channel in Canada, so its fate largely depends on its success north of the border. I suspect that we will see a fourth season.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Dark Matter TV show would be renewed for a fourth season? Are you sorry that Syfy cancelled this TV series, instead?
I love Dark Matter, and would love to have more seasons with new episodes. It is one of the best science fiction shows I have seen.
I have only watched re runs, but the show is great. Especially the android.
Will there be a movies.. unbelievable that you would cancel without an ending
My Husband and I Loved watching this series, they should at least end it properly. So YES there should be a Series 4
Disappointed. SYFY has cancelled too mant good shows without proper ending. Let their loss be another Newtworks gain. Keep trying to renew Dark Matter season 4.
