Black Mirror Renewed By Netflix For Season 5

The acclaimed sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror has been renewed for a fifth season. Netflix has confirmed that the show will return for another batch of episodes, although Season 5 has yet to be given a premiere date.

The streaming giant also released a short teaser for Black Mirror Season 5 on Twitter. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't feature any new footage, but it does show excerpts from previous episodes, displayed menacingly on a giant bank on screens. Check it below:

All previous four seasons of Black Mirror can be found on Netflix. The show was originally produced by Channel 4 in the UK, but Netflix took over production in 2016. Although the show is thematically linked in the way it explores the dangers of technology, each episode is a self-contained story. In a recent interview with NME, creator Charlie Brooker expressed surprise that the show is one of the most quickly binge-watched on Netflix.

"They must just want to get it over with quickly," he said. "It surprises me because we have a definite ending to each episode. You feel as though you've had a full meal. You know what I mean? You've eaten your dessert and everything, and now here comes the starter again. I mean, these people are psychotic."
