Netflix Horror Show Black Mirror's Teaser Trailer Reveals Episode Titles
Get ready for the return of the most depressing/best thing on Netflix
The next season of Black Mirror is almost here, and today, Netflix released a teaser for the upcoming season, which revealed the titles for all of the six episodes in the fourth season.
The teaser, which you can see above, gives snippets of what's to come for Season 4. Black Mirror is essentially Twilight Zone for the 21st century, with each standalone episode dealing with how the future of technology can quickly turn terrifying. The vast majority of the episodes end on a sour, depressing note, but it is one of the best produced shows currently on television. It just happens to have the potential to turn its audience into technophobes.
In a press release, Netflix revealed the episode titles, along with cast, directors, and writers for each episode:

Originally a Channel 4 series from the UK, Netflix ordered 12 episodes in 2015, which was later divided between two seasons. The third season, which came to Netflix in 2016, featured arguably one of the series' best episodes, "San Junipero"--at this point, the only episode that ends on a high note.
Netflix has stated nothing more than the fourth season of Black Mirror is "coming soon." Season 3 originally aired in late October, so we may get the next season a couple months from now.
