'Black Mirror' Season 6 to Premiere on Netflix In June
It's been over four years since we last saw a new episode of Charlies Brooker's Emmy-winning dystopian series Black Mirror, but our long national nightmare is finally about to be over. Season 6 is officially set to arrive on our screens in June, and while we don't know a precise premiere date yet, we know enough about the upcoming season to start getting excited.
The dark, satirical anthology explores the ways that various forms of technology have all had unanticipated (and generally negative!) effects on modern society, from social media networks and online security systems to dating apps, smart assistants, and other the other devices we freely and unquestioningly share our most personal and identifying data with. Each episode is a standalone story, and the series can be watched in almost any order. (Though there are hints that some of the tales may exist within a larger shared universe.)
As usual, we know very little about what kind of stories Season 6 aims to tell. But, since this season will also be Black Mirror's first set of episodes in a post-COVID-19 world, the idea is that some of the stories might draw inspiration from our shared pandemic experiences.
