Jimmi Simpson returns to Pop Culture Unplugged with Elias to break down Ryan’s emotional journey in Dark Matter Season 2, including the plague revelation, a heartbreaking family discovery and his evolving relationship with Amanda.

Following our Season 1 conversation, Simpson explores why returning home doesn’t bring Ryan the peace he expected—and how guilt pushes him to consider his responsibility to the worlds he visits.

In this episode: • Ryan’s reaction to another version of himself potentially bringing the plague into this world • The devastating revelation involving his sister, Camila • Why reaching the box represents a chance to make things right • How Amanda’s crisis forces Ryan to step into a different role • Why Simpson describes Ryan’s journey as “fun, expansive and devastating”

Spoiler warning: This episode discusses Dark Matter Season 2 plot developments.
