Black Mirror season 6 is coming to Netflix in June with the ‘unexpected’

Just when you thought you could start trusting your technology implicitly, Netflix is here with an announcement: There’s going to be more Black Mirror In June. Then again, not June Black MirrorYou know what to expect.

Netflix’s anthology of sci-fi stories about dystopias, and their social implications, surprised and thrilled audiences. By its midpoint, its schtick was succinctly defined by Daniel Lavery as “what if phones, but too much.”

Charlie Brooker, the creator of Charlie Brooker, has some big plans. Black Mirror season 6 — including plans to mix up the formula. In a statement to Netflix’s news site Tudum he said:

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. As a part of a personal challenge and to maintain dynamism for myself and viewers alike, I started this season deliberately by upending my assumptions.

Consequently, this time, alongside some of the more familiar Black Mirror tropes we’ve also got a few new elements, including some I’ve previously sworn blind the show would never do, to stretch the parameters of what ‘a Black Mirror episode’ even is. The stories are all still tonally Black Mirror through-and-through – but with some crazy swings and more variety than ever before.

There is also a stellar line-up of guest stars in this new season. The cast announced so far includes: Aaron Paul, Anjana Vasan, Annie Murphy, Auden Thornton, Ben Barnes, Clara Rugaard, Daniel Portman, Danny Ramirez, 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.

They’ll be tasked with bringing in the horrific implications of Black Mirror’s speculative fiction, an action Brooker is excited for audiences to see. “I can’t wait for people to binge their way through it all and hope they enjoy it,” Brooker told Tudum, “especially the bits they shouldn’t.”

Black MirrorSeason 6 of Netflix will debut in June.
