Charlie Brooker has one of the most varied resumés in entertainment. He’s been a video game journalist, a cartoonist, a TV reviewer, a satirist, and a comedy writer, and all of those skills came in handy when he created Black Mirror, his hit dystopian sci-fi anthology series that dominates the Netflix charts whenever it releases new episodes. Now, Brooker is moving on to a new project, and it’s taking him in a fresh direction yet again.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Charlie Brooker’s next series is an untitled four-part crime drama starring Paddy Considine (House of the Dragon) and Lena Headey (Game of Thrones). But don’t expect it to contain Black Mirror’s sly wit; the series is described as “a profoundly serious, stunningly original crime thriller” following a detective from the northern city of Bleakford who goes to London to catch a ritualistic serial murderer.
