According to the official synopsis, the miniseries would "reconnect with the basic elements of the show's first season" in which ordinary people discover that they have special abilities. A six-chapter prequel web-based series titled Dark Matters was released on July 9, 2015, to introduce the new characters and story lines.
The series takes place one year after a terrorist attack in Odessa, Texas. The government blames those with extraordinary abilities ("evolved humans", or "evos"), who are forced into hiding when vigilantes systematically hunt and kill them.
