Given how extensively the world has become its own real-life season ofBlack Mirror, it almost went unnoticed that the hit Netflix series hasn’t released any new material since June 2019. But now, a sixth season of the hit anthology series is on its way, reportsVariety.
The new installment is still in its early development days as casting begins for the new season that is said to be lengthier than its predecessor. Season Five was comprised of three episodes:Striking Viperswith Anthony Mackie and Yahya Abdul-Matteen II, SmithereenswithSherlockstar Andrew Scott, andRachel, Jack and Ashley Too,which starred Miley Cyrus.
Creator Charlie Brooker and creative partner Annabel Jones have also been expanding the scope ofBlack Mirrorfrom season to season, introducing interim specials and films like the 2018 interactive filmBlack Mirror: Bandersnatch.
Sources close to the production tellVarietythatBlack Mirrorseason six will continue to adopt a more cinematic approach, with each hour-plus long episode receiving a film-like treatment. However, as for the content of the episodes themselves, it remains unclear which direction Brooker is heading.
“At the moment, I don’t know what stomach there would be for stories about societies falling apart, so I’m not working away on one of those,” Brooker told Radio Times magazine back in 2020. “I’m sort of keen to revisit my comic skill set, so I’ve been writing scripts aimed at making myself laugh.”
A premiere date forBlack MirrorSeason Six has not yet been announced.
