Dark Matter fans should settle in for the long haul. No matter what the future holds for the Syfy series, series creator Joseph Mallozzi will make sure his criminal amnesiacs get the ending they deserve.

The crew of the Raza entered season 1 knowing just as little about their past, present, and future as viewers, and it will take five seasons for One (Marc Bendavid) through Six (Roger Cross) to find out what's really going on. Should Syfy do the unthinkable and cancel the series before then, fans shouldn't worry. (Well, you should worry a little bit. It's a really good show, after all.)

"I can't wait to blow you all away with Dark Matter's second season. And it's all gone perfectly according to plan, from Hyperion-8 to Eos-7, and when the final credits roll on episode 26 (title, of course, to be decided by YOU), we'll be happily closing yet another chapter of this five part SF epic," Mallozzi said as season 2 moved into the final leg of production on Friday.

"Ideally, in time, I'll get to finish the story I've envisioned - with the same people who made the show's first two seasons such a memorable experience - and with all of its twists, turns, shocks, and surprises. If not, all is not lost. Whether it'll be through a novel, a comic book series or, hell, a breakdown right here on this blog, you WON'T be left hanging."

As the sophomore run begins, fans should brace for answers right from the jump.

"There's a lot of satisfaction in the second season with regards to the unanswered themes in season 1," Melissa O'Neil promised at Toronto Comic Con.
