Black Mirror is an anthology series that shows our dependency on technology through inventive and exaggerated storytelling on specific aspects of how we interact with the internet and tech, in both good ways and bad. The new season is set to have more episodes than the three offered by the fifth season of the show. Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones who are the creators of the show left their production company House of Tomorrow in 2020. The move created downtime for the series as well as comments from Brooker at the height of the pandemic that seemed to put the series in doubt of a return. Speaking with Radio Times Brooker said, “At the moment, I don’t know what stomach there would be for stories about societies falling apart, so I’m not working away on one of those. I’m sort of keen to revisit my comic skill set, so I’ve been writing scripts aimed at making myself laugh.”

It's possible we could see some of that humor reflected in the new season of Black Mirror, which does not yet have a release date, but you can catch all the previous five seasons on Netflix.
