With the conclusion of its fifth season three years ago, uncertainty loomed over its future, but it appears that another wave of existential unease is on the horizon.

In 2020, Charlie Brooker, the mastermind behind Black Mirror, voiced uncertainties regarding the show’s future, citing the tumultuous state of the world as a hindrance. Brooker shared with Radio Times magazine in the UK, “Currently, I’m unsure of the appetite for narratives depicting societal collapse, so I haven’t delved into that realm. Instead, I’m exploring my comedic abilities and crafting scripts that amuse me.” Despite Brooker’s reservations, the series persists, with the exact premiere date remaining a mystery.
