We don't have much longer to wait for new episodes of Black Mirror, now under the Netflix umbrella. To give you a proper taste of the new season, have a look at the trailer below. Then turn your computer off and try not to feel too scared...
Halt And Catch Fire/The Martian's Mackenzie Davis stars in San Junipero, a philosophically provocative California-set episode, Joe Wright directs Alice Eve and Bryce Dallas Howard in Nosedive, “a playful satire about social media insecurity”, and 10 Cloverfield Lane’s Dan Trachtenberg helms Playtest, a video game “horror romp” starring Wyatt Russell. Other episodes include a police procedural, a military thriller and “an unfolding contemporary nightmare” with no sci-fi element, according to creator Charlie Brooker, who revealed more details to Empire recently.
“I think if you said to people, ‘Picture the first episode of the new series of Black Mirror’, they would imagine someone frowning at a see-through phone in the future with drone strikes going off behind them,” elaborates Brooker. “Hopefully we’re keeping viewers on their toes so they don’t just think it’s someone having their life ruined by a phone. Although that happens, too.”
The initial new batch of six episodes of Black Mirror hit Netflix on 21 October.
