Though it admittedly feels a little like we’ve been living in a Black Mirror episode lately, Charlie Brooker’s dystopian satire anthology series remains a piece of fiction. After two series on Channel 4, the show has jumped ship to Netflix – and we’ve been given our first look at what to expect.

The first two images are taken from the episode San Junipero, directed by Owen Harris (Kill Your Friends), and features Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Mackenzie Davis in ‘80s garb.

The other two featured are taken from the episode Nosedive, which has Atonement’s Joe Wright at the helm, with Bryce Dallas Howard starring.

Brooker’s series has garnered huge critical praise, and continues to attract A-list collaborators. Kelly Macdonald, Alice Eve and Game Of Thrones’ Jerome Flynn are all appearing in the new series.

All six episodes of the new season debut on the streaming platform from October 21, with a fourth batch of dark stories already planned. Hopefully it will bear little to no resemblance to reality.
