Netflix’s critically acclaimed anthology series Black Mirror has set a June 15, 2023 return date. The streaming service unveiled an official trailer for the upcoming sixth season and teased that the new season will be the series’ “most unpredictable, unclassifiable, and unexpected yet.”
Among the actors appearing in the five new episodes are Aaron Paul, Anjana Vasan, Annie Murphy, Auden Thornton, Ben Barnes, Clara Rugaard, Daniel Portman, Danny Ramirez, Himesh Patel, John Hannah, and Josh Hartnett. Plus, Kate Mara, Michael Cera, Monica Dolan, Myha’la Herrold, Paapa Essiedu, Rob Delaney, Rory Culkin, Salma Hayek Pinault, Samuel Blenkin, and Zazie Beetz star in the upcoming season.
Black Mirror was created and written by Charlie Brooker. Season six directors include Ally Pankiw, Sam Miller, John Crowley, Uta Briesewitz, and Toby Haynes, with Brooker, Jessica Rhoades, and Annabel Jones executive producing.
Bisha K. Ali co-wrote “Demon 79” and also executive produces.
“I’ve always felt that Black Mirror should feature stories that are entirely distinct from one another and keep surprising people — and myself — or else what’s the point? It should be a series that can’t be easily defined and can keep reinventing itself,” said Brooker.
