I’m reserved about new crew members, on the one hand you might get a bunch on Nyx’s who are interesting or you may get a bunch of Devon’s who end up as cannon fodder after taking screen time with no character exploration except in the last minute basically. Also I don’t want to see the newbies just sticking to one person; “Dark Matter” made some good progress in S2 mixing the characters up more and I hope that continues in S3 as it kept things interesting. I know the newbies need to be fleshed out for us to care about them but hope they don’t take up too much screen time as there are main characters, like Five, who still need to be explored and we had a GREAT Two-Android reveal so it’d be great to see their relationship explored more in S3.

Maybe one of the new characters will be sexually diverse this year because they’re lacking on that front; also if one was deaf or blind yet still a badass would be refreshing as physical impairment is also a lacking genre for representation with this series. We’ll see how it goes, but I’m always cautious about getting too excited with this series. I look forward to more reports as the season comes out to see if my excitement level changes any.

Any news on when Dark Matter’s counterpart Killjoys is begining principal photography?

We’ve not received any official word yet, but as soon as we do we’ll post!
