    Black Mirror Season 6 Reinvents Itself

    “It should be a series that can’t be easily defined.”

It’s back. Black Mirror Season 6 returned June 15 and was the most unpredictable season yet. 

There’s always been an element of the unexpected baked into the dark, satirical anthology, but with Season 6, creator Charlie Brooker tells Tudum that he even surprised himself.

“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,” the writer, creator and executive producer said.

So that’s exactly what he did. Not every episode of the new season will be exactly what you’re expecting — but that’s the whole point. 

“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,” he says. “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.”

That variety applies to both the episodes’ subject matter and to the long, long list of stars joining for Season 6. “Bringing it all to life we’ve got an incredible roster of disgustingly skillful, smart directors working with a cast of actors so talented they frankly have no right to exist,” Brooker says. One star on the roster is Salma Hayek Pinault who tells Tudum that the first episode of Season 6 alone “keeps making you laugh, making you anxious, blowing your mind, and making you think.”

Also among those too-talented stars: Aaron Paul, Anjana Vasan, Annie Murphy, Auden Thornton, Ben Barnes, Clara Rugaard, Daniel Portman, Danny Ramirez, David Shields, Himesh Patel, John Hannah, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, Michael Cera, Monica Dolan, Myha’la Herrold, Paapa Essiedu, Rob Delaney, Rory Culkin, Salma Hayek Pinault, Samuel Blenkin and Zazie Beetz. No big deal. Check them out in the tweet below.

The series, which is written and created by Charlie Brooker, counts Brooker, Jessica Rhoades, Annabel Jones and Bisha K. Ali among its executive producers and comes from Brooker and Jones’ production company Broke & Bones. In April 2024, Episode 5, “Demon 79,” took home two  BAFTA TV Craft Awards. The episode won the awards for Best Photography and Lighting: Fiction, and Best Writer: Drama — Charlie Brooker, Bisha K Ali.

Season 6 of Black Mirror premiered in June, 2023. Said Brooker back then, “I can’t wait for people to binge their way through it all and hope they enjoy it — especially the bits they shouldn’t.”
