April 20, 2017: Announcing The Dark Matter Aftershow – After Dark!

How much does the gang at Syfy International love Dark Matter and Dark Matter fandom?  So much that they were at the studio all this week, prepping and shooting an aftershow, After Dark, that will premiere following our season 3 premiere on all Syfy International channels.

As a participant in the After Dark segments for our first two episodes, I was required to be in hair & make-up for 8:00 a.m. sharp.  After Renee Chan (Key Hair) transformed my run-of-the-mill hairstyle into a true t.v. do, Dorota Mitoraj (Asst. Make-Up) made me t.v.-ready.  Pictured above, Dorota shows off her work.

Fellow Episode 301 After Dark guest Anthony Lemke (THREE) shows off his fresh new look – and drops off three boxes of donuts for the crew.  What a guy!

Each episode of After Dark will be hosted by Zoie Palmer (Android) and include varied guests – like Anthony Lemke and Rich Edwards, editor of SFX magazine.

Lots of coverage.

After the first After Show segment, I was asked to record a promo for our fans watching on SyfyDE.  This time, it was ME who was receiving direction.  “Can you say Hi Germany so it doesn’t sound like a question?”was my favorite. Hello?  Germany???

The Episode 302 aftershow also included a segment guest-starring Suji that may or may not make the cut on account of her unpredictability.  On the bright side, at least she didn’t poop on set.

  1. So that’s why I keep getting Rich’s out-of-office reply. If he got to meet the pugs, I will be so jealous!

  2. Wow, a Dark Matter after show! How brilliant is that? This is all sounding really rather wonderful.
    Yay, and superstar Suji will headline!
    Now I REALLY can’t wait for Season 3

  3. PS That chap, Anthony Lemke, does sound like a very nice man – 3 boxes of doughnuts!
    Oooo….. Nice one, Three ….

    . …. Ah, I get it ….

  4. Amazing so excited for an after show , look at adorable Sufi. Maybe on one of the other after shows you could have Zoie’s better half…. Cloverblob heheh

  5. Well, that is certainly good news! Can’t wait to experience After Dark! I’ll bet it will be spectacular… thank you for creating this for the fans!

    Suji looks precious… and she is ready for her close up Mr. DeMille.

    This news cheered me up. I was just told I am loosing my job of 8 years. I don’t relish the round of job-hunting & interviewing that follows. One grows complacent. And I have 2 weeks notice. Sigh…
    Wish me luck!

  6. That sounds really cool! But does that mean it will *only* be in SyFy international markets and not North America? Or at least on Space? That would not be that cool, but hopefully it could be streamed after the fact. Speaking of which, is S2 ever coming to Netflix (in Canada)?

    I hardly recognize the scruff less Anthony. He almost looks respectable! 🙂

  7. Hi Joe
    Damn. That would be nice to watch. Something tells me SPACE Channel isn’t Syfy International… When there’s a will, there’s a way….

  8. I’m so sorry 2Cats! {{{Hugs}}}

    Those pictures were great and thanks for sharing them!

  9. Dark Matter After Dark: Awesome, Fantastic, Terrific, Excellent….I just hope this will be airing here in the States! Go Zoie!!

    Jodelle is cuter than a speckled pup while Suji is a speckled pup…both are adorable! Anthony is hardly recognizable with his manly beard gone. And you are styling as usual!

    Thank you and all those who have labored and sacrificed to bring us Season 3!

    Thank you for brining us along on this journey. Here’s to many more!

  10. Well, that’s pretty freaking exciting! I love the title.

    It’ll be cool to see Joe LIVE on the big screen.

    Commander Suji looks pretty confident there in the command chair.

    Sorry @2cats. That’s really horrible. Good luck to you.

  11. Thanks! I’m oddly upbeat… well, relieved. The stress at my job was getting to me.
    And I have Dark Matter to look forward to and After Dark too — woo-hoo!

    I’ll be okay and I will let you all know what happens!

    =^-^= =^-^=

  12. Looks like Jodelle Ferland is expanding out of her childish look such as in her first showing from SG1. She may have kept that look from the first season of DM, maybe it means an opertunity for more expanded roles.

  13. Great idea for an after show, and yeah the title wrote itself. 🙂 I’d love it if you made it a little goofy like Andy Cohen’s late night show. Lower lighting, drinking… maybe let some fangirl/boys cosplay.
    For instance I was never able to get into The Walking Dead aftershow, Talking Dead. It always seemed a tiny bit stiff. It seemed sort of produced like a morning talk show to me.

  14. Nice, DM After Dark is going to be my favorite after show! I do hope Suji will get that airtime, look at that outfit, how could you leave that on the cutting room floor? I love how calm Suji is when placed in strange and unusual surroundings.

  15. Sorry to hear of your news @2cats but I’m certain something better will come along.
    Good luck in your search for that new job. Please don’t lose heart, I feel sure you’ll be fine 😊

  16. I’m so confused – does Syfy International include the US market or not? I totally squee’d over the news of Zoie hosting an aftershow – but if I can’t see it in the US, that’s just a cruel tease. Clarify, pretty please!!!
