Get Ready for the Most Terrifying Season Yet: Black Mirror Season 6 Promise Revealed
Get ready to be terrified as Black Mirror's creator, Charlie Brooker, promises an even darker and spine-chilling season 6 Fans can expect a thrilling rollercoaster ride with fresh new storylines that will leave them on the edge of their seats
Black Mirror fans may have even more reason to be afraid this season, as creator Charlie Brooker has promised to ramp up the show's horror elements. Known for its bleak and dystopian take on modern technology, the series has always been praised for its twisted and terrifying visions of the future. However, season 6 is set to push the boundaries even further, delving deeper into the dark and gothic side of human nature and technology.
According to a Q&A session previewing the upcoming episode "Beyond the Sea," Charlie Brooker shared his plans for Black Mirror season 6 with RadioTimes. Brooker revealed that this season will feature a new take on the show, with a Red Mirror film and a crime and horror-led sister label. The goal is to shake up what viewers expect from a Black Mirror episode. As part of this, the season will include episodes set in the past, such as "Beyond the Sea," which takes place in an alternate universe in 1969.
According to Brooker, Black Mirror season 6 will not be solely scary, as the first episode, "Joan Is Awful," will have a different tone. This season will feature one of the show's most overtly comic episodes, which is a parody of streaming services called Streamberry. The episode stars Annie Murphy and Salma Hayek Pinault and follows Joan as she discovers she is the subject of a streaming series. However, while "Joan Is Awful" may be comedic, Brooker assures fans that other episodes in the season will contain new horror elements. Brooker initially intended to write under the label Red Mirror, but the episodes ended up being "really unpleasant."
According to Brooker, the last season of Black Mirror received feedback indicating that the episodes were lighter and more lighthearted compared to previous seasons. However, the creator was not bothered by these comments and responded by saying, "I was aware that some people thought the last season was a bit too cheerful or frothy – well, they can go f**k themselves." Fans can look forward to the release of season 6 on Netflix on June 15, 2023.
