Based on a book of the same name, Dark Matter is about a professor who's kidnapped, only to wake up in an alternative version of his life. He has to try and escape back to his version of reality, while learning more about himself from this adventure, and escaping pursuit from a dangerous foe.

If you're excited for the TV show, here's how to watch Dark Matter.
How to watch Dark Matter
To watch Dark Matter, you'll have to sign up for Apple's streaming service Apple TV Plus, because the new show is an original production for the platform.
You can sign up for Apple TV Plus for $9.99 / £8.99 per month, and you'll need to subscribe to the 'standard' tier, as the MLS tier is solely for streaming Major League Soccer.
