Black Mirror Season 6 Trailer Shows Off Five Chilling Nightmares

Season 6 arrives on June 15.

Comments

Black Mirror is coming back for its sixth season this June, and the newest trailer has arrived. This trailer provides the best look at the new season and shows brief glimpses at the season's five movie-length episodes.

Netflix is calling Season 6 the "most unpredictable, unclassifiable and unexpected season yet." One of the episodes is called "Joan Is Awful," and it looks to be some kind of nightmare about a person's life getting made into a TV show on a Netflix-like service called Streamberry without their knowledge. Another episode, "Loch Henry," seems to follow a documentary film crew chronicling mysterious abductions.

"Beyond the Sea" stars Aaron Paul and Josh Hartnett as astronauts with an eerie undertone suggesting something will go horribly wrong. "Mazey Day" looks to be a story about a celebrity photographer played by Zazie Beetz. The last episode is called "Demon 79," and it appears to follow a young woman with a killer instinct.

Season 6's cast includes Paul, Hartnett, and Beetz, as well as Anjana Vasan, Annie Murphy, Clara Rugaard, Kate Mara, Myha'la Herrold, Paapa Essiedu, Rob Delaney, Salma Hayek Pinault, and Samuel Blenkin.

Series creator Charlie Brooker said in an interview with Netflix that Season 6 will do things that no previous season has, and that's notable because the very first episode saw a politician having intercourse with a pig.

"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," Brooker said. "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."

Season 6 is the first since Brooker and creative partner Annabel Jones started a new production company, Broke and Bones, which Netflix invested in.

Some fans lost hope for Black Mirror Season 6, as Brooker himself said he might not want to make a new season because the real world was also falling apart. Well, Season 6 is happening and it'll be here very soon, as it's set for release on June 15. While you wait, check out GameSpot's gallery below of the best Black Mirror episodes.
