Black Mirror: Season 6

Season 6 debuts sometime in June on Netflix

Still without a precise date but confirmed for June, the sixth season of Netflix's popular sci-fi-ish anthology series (which last aired in 2019) will consist of five new episodes, all written by series creator Charlie Brooker. (That may seem short, but it's actually two episodes longer than the prior season.) Stars confirmed for the new season include Aaron Paul, Zazie Beetz, Salma Hayek, Michael Cera, Josh Hartnett, Annie Murphy, Kate Mara, Rob Delaney, and Paapa Essiedu. Two episodes will be set in the past—specifically 1979 and an alternate-history 1969—while several deal with stardom, including one episode in which an average woman is shocked to discover that a streaming service has adapted her life story into a new TV drama and that Salma Hayek is playing her.
