Black Mirror Renewed For Fifth Season, Netflix Tweets Out Announcement

After a mixed bag of offerings with its fourth season, Black Mirror will return to a screen near you for its new season. Details are sketchy, with Netflix having merely dropped a teaser on Twitter on Monday evening, showing a bank of screens playing different episodes from the show's previous seasons, before they're all replaced by Black Mirror's trademark loading visuals and cracked frame. The teaser ends with a 'Be Right Back.'

Netflix captioned the video with "The future will be brighter than ever", a play on the show's premise of the near-future digital dystopia humanity may soon come under.

Black Mirror is an anthology series that taps into our collective unease with the modern world, with each stand-alone episode a sharp, suspenseful tale exploring themes of contemporary techno-paranoia leading to an unforgettable – and sometimes unsettling – conclusion. Without questioning it, technology has transformed all aspects of our lives; in every home; on every desk; in every palm - a plasma screen; a monitor; a Smartphone – a Black Mirror reflecting our 21st Century existence back at us. The series is created and written by Charlie Brooker, and executive produced by Brooker and Annabel Jones.
