\n\u2018Black Mirror\u2019 Season 6 set to premiere in June<\/br>
\n2023-04-27 22:46:47<\/br><\/p>\n

\u201cBlack Mirror<\/a>\u201d is officially returning this June, Netflix announced today, bringing viewers a sixth season that will potentially make them feel like we\u2019re all inching closer to a grim, tech-infused dystopian reality.<\/p>\n

Alongside the announcement, Netflix released the first teaser <\/a>for season 6, featuring a space station in orbit, a haunting smiley face emoji that appears throughout the video \u2014 including on a smartwatch \u2014 and, of course, lots of gore and violence.<\/p>\n

The mind-altering season will have a star-studded cast, including Aaron Paul, Michael Cera, Salma Hayek Pinault, Rob Delaney, Himesh Patel, Annie Murphy, Rory Culkin, Kate Mara and Zazie Beetz, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack Mirror\u201d creator Charlie Brooker hints that fans should expect the unexpected when watching this season as it\u2019s shaping up to be the most surprising one yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cPartly as a challenge, and partly to keep things fresh for both me and the viewer, I began this season by deliberately upending some of my own core assumptions about what to expect,\u201d Brooker told Tudum<\/a>, Netflix\u2019s companion website.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsequently, this time, alongside some of the more familiar Black Mirror tropes, we\u2019ve also got a few new elements, including some I\u2019ve previously sworn blind the show would never do, to stretch the parameters of what \u2018a Black Mirror episode\u2019 even is. The stories are all still tonally Black Mirror through-and-through \u2014 but with some crazy swings and more variety than ever before,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve seen the show, then you know how insane the storylines can get. (Spoiler alert: The first episode of season 1 shows a prime minister forced to be with a pig on live TV in order to save a princess.) So, if Brooker says he\u2019s going to push even further past those boundaries \u2014 you should probably believe him.<\/p>\n

Each episode of the satirical anthology series comments on society in some shape or form, such as the issues centered around webcam hackers, identity left, weird robotic dogs and the toxicity of social media.<\/p>\n

Some of us have even coined the phrase \u201cliving in a \u2018Black Mirror\u2019 episode\u201d due to the brevity of strange events that have taken place in the past few years, including a businessman and reality TV star becoming the president of the United States<\/a>, a global pandemic<\/a>, Elon Musk taking over Twitter<\/a>\u2026just to name a few.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always felt that Black Mirror should feature stories that are entirely distinct from one another and keep surprising people (and myself) or else what\u2019s the point? It should be a series that can\u2019t be easily defined and can keep reinventing itself\u2026 I can\u2019t wait for people to binge their way through it all and hope they enjoy it \u2014 especially the bits they shouldn\u2019t,\u201d Brooker added.<\/p>\n

After \u201cBlack Mirror\u201d season 5 ended in 2019, fans were left waiting for another season. While viewers have grown accustomed to waiting long periods of time for the next \u201cBlack Mirror\u201d season to drop, this four-year wait has been the longest so far.<\/p>\n

One explanation for the absence is an obvious one \u2014 COVID-19 flipped all our lives upside down in 2020, inevitability putting many productions on hold. However, the main reason \u201cBlack Mirror\u201d stopped production is more complex than that.<\/p>\n

Brooker and his creative partner Annabel Jones left<\/a> the production company House of Tomorrow in January 2020. They then began a new venture, founding Broke and Bones<\/a>, in which Netflix invested<\/a>. However, House of Tomorrow\u2019s parent company Endemol Shine Group, which Banijay Group acquired<\/a>, still had the rights to \u201cBlack Mirror.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luckily, Netflix inked a licensing deal with Banijay so that the show could continue streaming on the platform.<\/p>\n

In May 2022, Variety<\/a>\u00a0reported that season 6\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>was greenlit and set to have more episodes than the season prior, according to Variety\u2019s sources. The new episodes would also have longer runtimes and be \u201ctreated as an individual film,\u201d the publication wrote.<\/p>\n

More recently, the Twitter account dedicated to \u201cBlack Mirror\u201d decided to reemerge after years of silence. The account tweeted<\/a> this week, \u201cWhat have we missed?\u201d sending a couple thousand fans into a frenzy.<\/p>\n

Netflix\u2019s Twitter account responded<\/a> with, \u201cScientists are still creating robots that slowly harness more and more advanced AI like they haven\u2019t watched a single episode of your show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooker also hinted at the return, tweeting a thinking face emoji.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
