What is Black Mirror about?
Since Black Mirror is an anthology series, providing a storyline description for a complete season is difficult. Furthermore, the show’s creators are always highly discreet about revealing too much information before the original premiere.
Brooker has stated that this season would have a considerably greater cinematic scope in terms of production quality, approaching each episode as a whole film.
What is certain is that this season will be harsher than prior seasons, with comparisons drawn to how technology has become even more interwoven into society since the epidemic. Brooker also hinted that the upcoming season will contain new elements to the series that he had previously vowed off using and a more significant variance between episodes than ever before.
Trailer of Black Mirror Season 6
On April 26, 2023, a teaser trailer for Black Mirror Season 6 was posted on Netflix’s YouTube account.
The trailer, set to a cover of “I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire,” gives us a taste of what the new episodes this season will be about, with Aaron Paul in a space station, an eerie flashy beaming face, Zazie Beetz using dial-up internet, Paapa Essiedu dressed in a fluffy white parka, and plenty of tech and humanity as a whole going wrong.
On May 31, the first extended trailer for Black Mirror Season 6 was released. Aside from promising fresh horrors, the teaser suggests that this season’s episodes would be set up as ‘films.’
How Many Episodes Will There Be in This Season of Black Mirror?
This season will feature more episodes than the previous season, which only had three. The episodes will be around the same length, with a duration of about one hour. As previously stated, these new episodes will be of superior production quality courtesy of the new production firm Broke and Bones.
