The trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into the show’s trippy visuals and thought-provoking concepts, hinting at the profound questions it will raise about the nature of identity, reality, and the far-reaching implications of tampering with the fundamental laws of the universe.
Alongside Edgerton, “Dark Matter” features an impressive ensemble cast that includes Academy Award-winner Jennifer Connelly, Alice Braga, Jimmi Simpson, Dayo Okeniyi, and rising star Oakes Fegley.
