Black Mirror season 6 is on its way after a four-year wait and we have some exciting new details about what to expect when the dystopian series returns.
Charlie Brooker's dark anthology has been a huge hit ever since it first hit our screens on Channel 4, then later moved to Netflix where it was able to attract an even bigger audience and an interactive movie called Black Mirror: Bandersnatch.
News of the sixth instalment came after the official Twitter account shared a cryptic clue that simply read "What have we missed?" and a trailer followed shortly after, sending fans into a frenzy.
Speaking about the series' return, Charlie Brooker 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.
“Partly as a challenge, and partly to keep things fresh for both me and the viewer, I began this season by deliberately upending some of my own core assumptions about what to expect."
That all sounds very exciting. Here's everything you need to know about Black Mirror season 6 so far.
