With our second walk-thru of the new sets (at the new stage) scheduled for this Tuesday, I thought it might be nice to show you all what the Art Department and Construction have been working on for our season 2 opener.  Structures, shapes, textures and details – it’s all coming along nicely.  More than anything, I want you all to compare these early stages of the various builds with what you’ll eventually see onscreen in, oh, about seven months from now…

It’s the little touches that lend it that sense of realism.

We’re building a two-level structure that will be cast and crew accessible.  Pretty damn amazing.

The view out your swanky room.  This too will change.

So far, so amazing.  Production Designer Ian Brock, his team, and the Dark Matter construction department never fail to impress.

  1. Fabulous – the concepts and the construction.
    7 months eh? aarrrgghh…
    WE are very much in prison ourselves. A sentence of at least 7 months.
    not nice.

  2. I imagine some of those panels will be painted in bluescreen and/or greenscreen shade to assist with any potential CGI..? Looks FABULOUS!!!! Wish I could work/play there…… 😉

  3. It all looks amazing already, and as I remember what the sets last season looked like year at this point compared to what they looked like on-screen, it looks like we’re in for a real treat come June.

  4. Mr. Joseph….

    Thank you very much for sharing all of the BTS images and information
    from the Dark Matter Season Two production.

    I find it all to be very interesting and highly intriguing.

    I am really looking forward to being able to watch the upcoming
    Season Two episodes.
    New sets!….new characters!…new season!

    Now when is that air date going to be announced?!?
    (..I guess that is all for Syfy to decide and announce.)

    BTW…any word or info in the mixes regarding a possible early renewal for Season Three?

  5. You have a new stage?, in the same giant building? I can’t imagine how much space you would need for a production! Love the angles on the structures, so spacey, thanks for sharing!
