Black Mirror is returning after a three-year hiatus with what it claims to be its "most unpredictable season yet." Series creator Charlie Brooker claimed that Black Mirror's new season would tackle tropes he "previously sworn blind the show would never do."

The sixth season of the show draws in another star-studded lineup, including Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek), Ben Barnes (Shadow and Bone), Himesh Patel (Station Eleven), Josh Hartnett (Black Hawk Down), Kate Mara (House of Cards), Rory Culkin (Columbus), and Salma Hayek Pinault (Frida), among many others.

‘Black Mirror’ is coming back on June 5th

Netflix just dropped the trailer and release date for the fifth season of Black Mirror. The sci-fi anthology will be coming back on June 5 and will feature three new stories. Some of the stars you can expect to see include Miley Cyrus, Anthony Mackie, Topher Grace, Nicole Beharie, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Angourie Rice. Just as in the past seasons, these episodes created by Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones focuses on the potential effects of technology on our society.

‘Black Mirror’ Season 5 could come ‘sooner than you think’

At least that’s what the show’s creator says. Charlie Booker told Radio Times in very vague terms that the fifth season of the show is coming. “It’s all imminent-ish. It’ll be out soon.” He adds, “I don’t know what you think, or I’d say it’s sooner than you think.” Apparently, they also already shot one of the episodes before diving deep into the creation of Bandersnatch. Rumour has it, Miley Cyrus is also involved in one of the other episodes. Brooker is keeping themes of the show closely guarded, too, and said that when he said comments about the series being more politically-focused, these might have been misconstrued.

“Last time I kept getting asked, ‘How do you do Black Mirror in a dystopian present?’ and I was saying, ‘Well I deliberately haven’t written an episode about Brexit, because you don’t know how that’s going to play out, so you’d have to wait and see, in a way.’ Because of the turnaround time that we have, we don’t want to be completely outmoded. We don’t tend to do things where we go, ‘Oh what’s happening today?’ and then write about that. So I don’t know that that’s true. Also, weirdly we’ve done a lot of those things already. We’ve sort of done Trump [in series two episode The Waldo Moment]. It’s probably not more political this year, really, except maybe when it is,” he said.
