Black Mirror season 6 episode count, plot summaries, and cast revealed!
By Daniel Roman
Black Mirror season 6 comes out next month, and it sounds like it’ll be another uncomfortably riveting season. Netflix has just released a bevy of new information, including episode titles, plot summaries, and cast.
Black Mirror is a bit different than your usual show; each episode stands completely on its own, with totally different cast and themes, sort of like The Twilight Zone. The show explores the influence of technology on our lives, cranking things up to creepy extremes. Season 6 will have five episodes. Here are the details:
