Please sign this petition, and share it with others, to demonstrate your support to renew the television series Dark Matter for a fourth season or a full-length feature film!

1)     Dark Matter's Popularity and Positioning Make It A Low Risk Investment

• The Dark Matter series was wildly popular in its original debut on Space/Syfy, garnering over 1.5 million viewers of the series premier on niche cable networks and a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 72%. After the show’s third and final season, a petition was created to renew the show, which gathered over 75,000 signatures.  Both demonstrate a significant audience interested in continuing the series.
• Netflix has already grown the audience by placing Dark Matter on its streaming platform and suggesting Dark Matter in its Trending, Popular Now, and Suggested for [You] categories.
• Dark Matter Season 3 ended on a cliffhanger with multiple plot lines unresolved, introducing new characters, and with significant story left to tell!
• Science fiction fan audiences tend to be extremely loyal with shows often gathering a “cult following," which represents an audience ready to watch new Dark Matter content.

2)     Demand for Streaming Content is Rapidly Increasing amidst Competing Platforms

• In one year, Netflix is expected to invest $15 billion in original entertainment and Amazon is expected to invest over $6 billion. Apple is also said to be investing over $6 billion in original content.
• The last two years have seen the launch of Disney+ and Apple TV+ platforms, as well as improvements in countless individual television/cable network streaming apps, requiring each platform to improve the success rate of its own entertainment offerings.
• The propagation of the novel coronavirus has driven people indoors, increasing demand for streaming entertainment on demand. This is expected to continue well in to 2021 with a possible continuation of social distancing measures until a vaccine is readily available.

3)     Dark Matter has a Well-Developed Cinematic Universe for Expansion or Future Investment

• As with many developing cinematic offerings today, there is exceptional potential in leveraging a well-thought-out universe of political factions, explored worlds, known technologies, social classes, and economies.
• The Dark Matter cinematic universe has far reaching detail which offers the potential for crossover events between science fiction shows and the development of spin-off, prologue, or epilogue series with minimal investment required to write the cinematic universe.
