Netflix has confirmed that Black Mirror is returning to the streaming service on 29 December 2017. Charlie Brooker's dystopian show, which satirises modern society and our use of technology, has received widespread critical acclaim for the its eerie resemblance to the current society and its ever-increasing dependence on technology. Netflix has started to give viewers a slow dose of the upcoming season with teasers for all the six episodes, and a full trailer.
Black Mirror, which won the 2017 Emmy Awards for television movie and television movie writing, will return with six new episodes. The six episodes will star actors such as such as Rosemarie Dewitt, Jesse Plemons and Aldis Hodge. Jodie Foster has directed an episode this season.
