The Twilight Zone-inspired British anthology series that has gained popularity for its dystopian themes will return for a sixth season soon. Netflix has released a phenomenal trailer for Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror season 6 ahead of its premiere this June. The show — which is often credited with revitalizing the anthology television genre — employs technology to remark on current social issues.
Black Mirror earned the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie three times in a row for its creative concepts that explore science fiction. A new season has been eagerly anticipated by fans, and the time is now drawing near. The trailer and episode titles hint at a frightening adventure and we’re told to “expect the unexpected.”
Black Mirror season 6 official trailer
The official 2-minute clip — which provides fascinating teases for each of the upcoming five episodes — has caused a frenzy on the internet. The teaser shows a look at “five new worlds, realities, nightmares, revelations, hallucinations, rabbit holes, and mind f*cks,” as the film puts it. The details are so awful it’s irresistible.
The season 6 cast is “so talented they frankly have no right to exist,” as Brooker puts it. Fans can catch Aaron Paul, Anjana Vasan, Annie Murphy, Auden Thornton, Ben Barnes, Clara Rugaard, Daniel Portman, Danny Ramirez, David Shields, Himesh Patel, John Hannah, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, Michael Cera, Monica Dolan, Myha’la Herrold, Paapa Essiedu, Rob Delaney, Rory Culkin, Salma Hayek Pinault, Samuel Blenkin, and Zazie Beetz in the upcoming season of Black Mirror.
Black Mirror season 6 release date
Black Mirror has been met with great critical acclaim ever since it debuted in 2011. The show, which had its debut on the British television network Channel 4, was then transferred to Netflix, where three additional seasons debuted in 2016, 2017, and 2019. The show teased a summer return with the official release date of Thursday, June 15. The announcement came with an official two-minute trailer, episode titles, cast list, and loglines.
The upcoming season is confirmed to have five episodes. Fans are in for a lot more surprise as Brooker has promised “crazy swings and more variety than ever before.” Brooker also provided Netflix’s Tudum with some insight into what the show might offer,
“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.”
