Netflix has released the full trailer and further details of the upcoming season 6 of Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror. It launches globally on June 15th.
Brooker said, “I’ve always felt that Black Mirror should feature stories that are entirely distinct from one another, and keep surprising people — and myself — or else what’s the point? It should be a series that can’t be easily defined, and can keep reinventing itself.
“Partly 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. Consequently, this time, alongside some of the more familiar Black Mirror tropes we’ve also got a few new elements, including some I’ve previously sworn blind the show would never do, to stretch the parameters of what ‘a Black Mirror episode’ even is. The stories are all still tonally Black Mirror through-and-through — but with some crazy swings and more variety than ever before.”
“Bringing it all to life we’ve got an incredible roster of disgustingly skillful, smart directors working with a cast of actors so talented they frankly have no right to exist.”
The series is written and created by Charlie Brooker. Brooker, Jessica Rhoades, Annabel Jones and Bisha K. Ali are the executive producers. Brooker and Jones’ Broke & Bones is the production company.
