Dark Matter was one of the most popular and highest rated shows on Syfy. Not only did it receive impressive viewing figures throughout S3, the show has been well-received globally and fans have been vocal on social media regarding their desire tor further seasons.

Despite this Syfy made the decision to cancel Dark Matter on 1st September 2017. No reason was given for this and Syfy didn't even release a statement to explain the cancellation to fans.

Syfy is a channel which prides itself on diversity and listening to fans. If that's the case, why has a popular and diverse show been cancelled for no apparent reason?

As of S3 the main cast has an equal number of male and female characters, half of whom are people of colour. Furthermore, the lead of the show is a bisexual Asian woman. Very few shows have this level of diversity and many fans have found important representation they may struggle to find elsewhere.

Simply put, the decision to cancel Dark Matter was a poor one on Syfy's part. We, the fans of Dark Matter, wish to show our support for the show and encourage another network to consider picking it up for a further season.
