“If we showed you anymore, your eyes would bleed,” Ortega says before inquisitively staring into the camera.

Season 1 saw Wednesday learning to master her psychic powers while working to solve a murder. While season 2’s plot details remain under wraps, the series will introduce more supernatural mysteries for Wednesday to uncover at Nevermore.

Dark Matter season 2’s most interesting question may be what comes after Amanda and Daniela’s choices

For all its quantum mechanics and competing realities, Dark Matter has always been less interested in the choices people make than in what happens once they have to live with them.

Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton) remains the character around whom most of those choices orbit. Season 1 began when an alternate version of the Chicago physicist, Jason2, abducted him and crossed into his world to take over the life he believed he should have had. That life included Daniela (Jennifer Connelly), Jason's wife and the mother of their teenage son, Charlie. The abduction also brought Jason into the life of Amanda (Alice Braga), a psychiatrist who worked on the Box project in Jason2's reality and had been romantically involved with him.
