Netflix has announced that its hit sci-fi series Black Mirror will return for a sixth season in June 2023, starring Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul, Schitt’s Creek’s Annie Murphey, Scott Pilgrim’s Michael Cera, and more.
After several years of waiting for the Black Mirror sequel, Netflix has finally announced that the famous series would return in June this year with a sixth season introduced as ” the most unpredictable, unclassifiable and unexpected to date “.
Once again, the series boasts a roster of top talent. This season’s roster includes: Aaron Paul, Anjana Vasan, Annie Murphy, Auden Thornton, Ben Barnes, Clara Rugaard, Daniel Portman, Danny Ramirez, 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.
Previous seasons of Black Mirror have always maintained an anthology-like structure. This was done so that the series itself could never be easily defined and to prevent it from becoming too predictable, as explained by creator Charlie Brooker himself. Black Mirror always brings the unexpected, and this season will be no different.
As you can see in the trailer below, this season of Black Mirror is shaping up to be even more gruesome, terrifying, engrossing and thrilling than any that have come before it. You can see love, horror, and even a space station.
” I’ve always thought that Black Mirror should present entirely separate stories and continue to surprise people – and myself –, otherwise what’s the point? It should be a series that can’t be easily defined and can endlessly reinvent itself. “, explains its creator. ” Partly out of challenge, and partly to keep things fresh for myself and for the viewers, I started this season by deliberately upending some of my base assumptions about what to expect. “.
” So this time around, in addition to some familiar Black Mirror tropes, we also have a few new elements, some of which I swore the series would never do, to expand the parameters of what an “episode of Black Mirror”. The stories are still as invigorating as those of Black Mirror, but they are more varied than ever and contain many twists “, he adds.
