'Dark Matter' Star Alice Braga on Venturing into Season 2's Uncharted Territory @thenerdsofcolor

Uploaded August 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

When we last left the world of Blake Crouch's Dark Matter, the story wrapped up like the self-contained novel it was adapted from. So when Apple TV renewed the sci-fi thriller for a second season, it meant heading somewhere the source material never went. We caught up with star Alice Braga, who returns as Amanda, to talk about diving into uncharted territory, her real-life friendship with Crouch, and the guilt her character carries into this new chapter.
