Black Mirror renewed for season 5 on Netflix

'Be Right Back'

Black Mirror's future is certain. Ours, less so.

The tech-dystopian anthology series, coming from Charlie Brooker, will return to Netflix for a fifth season. A premiere date and episode count are yet to be revealed, though a short trailer featuring clips from previous episodes was released on the show's official Twitter account.

The trailer ends with the phrase "be right back", referencing the season 2 episode of the same naming starring Hayley Atwell and Domhnall Gleeson.

The episode features a young woman who discovers technology that can allow her to communicate with AI imitating her boyfriend, only recently killed in a car accident.

It's likely season 5 will take on the same shape as its previous Netflix outings, featuring six episodes released in the latter part of the year.

"We love making the show. It’s an utter privilege to be able to curate six films. It’s the stuff of dreams," executive producer Annabel Jones told The Hollywood Reporter ahead of season 4 launching.
