Netflix has premiered the official trailer for season four of the critically acclaimed series, Black Mirror. The upcoming season is set to debut on December 29, 2017 and, as the trailer advertises, will include six new worlds and six new stories. And, it appears one of the worlds looks straight out of the original Star Trek series.
Charlie Brooker created the award-winning series and serves as writer and executive producer. Annabel Jones also executive produces the sci-fi thriller.
Season four will feature Jesse Plemons, Rosemarie DeWitt, Jimmi Simpson, Cristin Milioti, Aldis Hodge, Maxine Peake, Andrea Riseborough, Letitia Wright, and Michaela Coel. The six-episode season was directed by Jodie Foster, Toby Haynes, John Hillcoat, Colm McCarthy, Tim Van Patten, and David Slade.
The Plot: Black Mirror is an anthology series that taps into our collective unease with the modern world, with each stand-alone episode a sharp, suspenseful tale exploring themes of contemporary techno-paranoia leading to an unforgettable – and sometimes unsettling – conclusion. Without questioning it, technology has transformed all aspects of our lives; in every home; on every desk; in every palm – a plasma screen; a monitor; a Smartphone – a Black Mirror reflecting our 21st Century existence back at us.
