Netflix has dropped the official trailer of Black Mirror Season 6. And the latest clip guarantees to deliver stories filled with jaw-dropping and mindf*cking twists. The upcoming season certainly looks different from previous instalments, as all five episodes have been referred to as “five films”. It means that fans may get the lengthiest entry of the series in the form of Season 6. Although, the upcoming season still has an anthology format – meaning that all five films will have independent stories.
The film that will probably become Season 6’s biggest highlight is “Joan Is Awful”. In the story, Joan (Annie Murphy) is seen watching a show with her partner on a streaming platform, Streamberry (which looks similar to Netflix). She encounters a series based on her life, and Salma Hayek portrays her on-screen persona in that one. Talk about subverting the format!
The trailer shows a lot in its two-and-a-half-minute duration. One of the films, “Loch Henry”, will revolve around a mysterious kidnapping that manages to lure high media attention. Additionally, Breaking Bad fame, Aaron Paul, and Josh Hartnett will be seen as two astronauts who try to survive a harsh environment in space. Although, it is not clear if the duo actually visits space or is in some sort of simulation.
Another film will be “Demon 79”, whose story is set in the pre-streaming era and the fake company that produces the Netflix lookalike, Red Mirror. Showrunner Charlie Brooker has written all the “films”, helmed by different directors.
Black Mirror Season 6 will feature a sensational cast of Annie Murphy, Salma Hayek, Michael Cera, Aaron Paul, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, Zazie Beetz, Danny Ramirez, and more. It will premiere on Netflix on June 15. Stay tuned for more updates.
