Where was Dark Matter filmed? Guide to all the locations

At the beginning of the first episode, "Are You Happy in Your Life?", Charlie and Jason are driving down North Kedzie Boulevard in Logan Square, Chicago.

The traffic light is at the intersection with West Logan Boulevard.

The fictional Lakemont College, where Jason works as a physics teacher, is actually located at the Mathematics Community Center (NEIU) at Northeastern Illinois University.

Established in 1867, it is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the state.

The Dessen home exterior is a historic brownstone located near the Damen Blue Line station on Wicker Park's Caton Street.

Brownstones are built with a blend of brick and sandstone, often featuring architectural details such as stoops and ornate facades, representing a significant part of Chicago's architectural heritage.

According to real estate websites, this three-bedroom house built in the 1890s has an estimated market value of about 1,300,000 dollars.

When Jason goes to meet Ryan at the Village Tap bar, there is a shot filmed near Logan Square with North Milwaukee Avenue.

The Logan Theatre neon light sign appears in the background.

In the sequence, the pub appears to be across the street. However, the Village Tap was filmed at the Damen Tavern on Huron Street and North Damen Avenue.

The interior, with a Devil's Toboggan anti-alcohol prohibition poster, was also shot here.

On his way home, a taxi almost runs over Jason on West Chicago Avenue in West Town, so the bar might be in that area as well.

Daniela's gallery in the second episode, "Trip of a Lifetime", is Artifact Events in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago.

Decorated with antique stone columns and chandeliers, this unique venue is housed in a former industrial space.

One of our readers told us that Daniela's house is a private home on Randolph Street near Carpenter.

The restaurant at the beginning of the third episode, "The Box", is the French restaurant Obélix in River North.

The skate shop in the fourth episode, "The Corridor," is Uprise at 1820 North Milwaukee Avenue.

The box warehouse must be very close to the bridge on West 18th Street over the South Branch of the Chicago River, between East Pilsen and the Near South Side.

The St. Charles Air Line Bridge appears in the background of the scene.

But in the story, the box is located near the shore of Lake Michigan, north of downtown Chicago.

The iconic Drake Hotel, situated at the northern end of the Magnificent Mile, can be seen in some worlds behind the box.

In the fifth episode, "Worldless," Amanda and Jason find a car in front of KenTone's Drive-In restaurant on West 18th Street near the bridge.

The restaurant where Jason and Amanda dine and dance on their night out in the sixth episode, "Superposition", is the Untitled Supper Club, a renowned dining and entertainment venue in the River North neighborhood.

They stay at the historic Milshire Hotel near Logan Square in Chicago.

Currently not open to the public, the hotel preserves an iconic 80-year-old neon sign.

The scenes with Jason A and Amanda visiting a utopian Chicago were filmed at the Chicago Riverwalk in the West End, the Lake Street Bridge and Riverpoint Park.

The red sculpture is a real one called Constellation by Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava.

The Green Mill cocktail lounge is located on a corner of North Broadway and Lawrence Avenue in Uptown.

Established in 1907, this jazz club is known for its Prohibition-era ties to Al Capone and its vibrant jazz performances.

Also in the seventh episode, "In the Fires of Dead Stars", the lobby of the restaurant is located in the 150 North Riverside Plaza building on the west bank of the Chicago River.

In the eighth episode, "Jupiter," Jason A smokes a cigar at Lou Mitchell's, a historic Chicago diner opened in 1923, located at the start of Route 66.

This episode also features the University of Chicago's campus in the Hyde Park neighborhood on the city's South Side.

The Joe and Rika Mansueto Library, completed in 2011, is known for its distinctive glass dome design.

The Bean, officially named Cloud Gate, is a famous public sculpture, located in Millennium Park that has become an iconic symbol of Chicago.

Designed by artist Anish Kapoor in 2004, it was inspired by liquid mercury and features a highly reflective stainless steel surface that mirrors the city's skyline and park surroundings.
