The wait is over. Black Mirror is back with a sixth season that promises to be the most unpredictable, unclassifiable, and unexpected of all.
Creator Charlie Brooker revealed more details about the Netflix series, which with each of its chilling and murky episodes has managed to ‘blow our minds’.
“I have always felt that Black Mirror should present stories that are completely different from each other and continue to surprise people, including myself, otherwise, what’s the point? It should be a series that cannot be easily defined and can continue to reinvent itself,” Brooker told Tudum.

In the preview, the essence and fiction that characterizes Black Mirror remain, but the director promised that he included “some crazy changes and more variety than ever” to the episodes.

“I can’t wait for people to get caught up in everything and I hope they enjoy it, especially the parts they shouldn’t,” Brooker highlighted.
What Is Black Mirror About?
Charlie Brooker revealed that he named the show ‘Black Mirror’ because he loved the idea of “people watching the series on their TV or laptop, and when the episode ended and the credits appeared, they would be reflected on the screen”.
It would be a way of looking at ourselves in a black mirror that responds with our own image, a metaphor for how technology can unleash the best and worst in ourselves.
According to the synopsis, this title “explores our collective discomfort with the advances of modernity, and each installment is a precise and chilling tale of contemporary technoparanoia. Undoubtedly, technology has transformed every aspect of our lives: in every home, every office, every palm of the hand, there is a screen, a monitor, a smartphone. Therefore, the series is a mirror that returns us a slightly distorted image, although highly plausible, of the 21st century”.
‘Black Mirror’ portrays situations that seem to be from the future, but at the same time, are part of what we are already living.
