After four long years, Black Mirror is finally back to distract us all from our real-life dystopia with haunting peeks into the terrifying possibilities of a society dependent on tech. Charlie Brooker, the creator of the British anthology series, went on a self-imposed (and well-timed) break during the pandemic, meaning this is our first batch of standalone episodes in the "post-COVID" era. The five new episodes span several genres, including true crime, space adventure, horror, and a super-meta Netflix (er, I mean Streamberry) show within a show, while surprisingly taking place more in alternate versions of the past rather than a distant future. Still, the series is just as full of shocking twists and existential dread as you remember.
Since it's an anthology, each season includes a huge cast of current and future A-listers, with previous seasons featuring stars like Daniel Kaluuya, Jon Hamm, Bryce Dallas Howard, Michaela Coel, Mackenzie Davis, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Miley Cyrus. Read on to meet the stellar cast of season 6 of Black Mirror.
