Series creator, writer, and executive producer Charlie Brooker promises season six of Netflix’s Black Mirror will pull off twists and turns that no one will see coming. “Partly as a challenge, and partly to keep things fresh for both me and the viewer, I began this season by deliberately upending some of my own core assumptions about what to expect,” explained Brooker in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum.
Brooker added: “The stories are all still tonally Black Mirror through-and-through — but with some crazy swings and more variety than ever before.”
Netflix just released the first teaser trailer, poster, and photos from the sixth season of the critically acclaimed anthology series, which is targeting a June 2023 premiere.
In addition, the streaming service released the cast list – but not episode descriptions.
Season six will feature Aaron Paul, Anjana Vasan, Annie Murphy, Auden Thornton, Ben Barnes, Clara Rugaard, Daniel Portman, Danny Ramirez, and 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 are also starring in the upcoming season.
Jessica Rhoades, Annabel Jones, and Bisha K. Ali join Brooker as executive producers, with Broke & Bones producing.
Netflix’s offers this description of the six-time Emmy Award-winning series:
“Expect the unexpected. The long-awaited return of Charlie Brooker’s dark, satirical anthology series which reinvents itself with each new episode. The sixth season of Black Mirror is the most unpredictable, unclassifiable, and unexpected yet.”
