Black Mirror season 3: The techno-paranoia is real in first look at Charlie Brooker's latest series

Plot details, of course, remain a secret

(Netflix)

There's not a huge amount of time to wait before Charlie Brooker unleashes his next batch of Black Mirror episodes on the world via Netflix, but only now have we been granted a first look at the dystopian worlds we'll be visiting this time around.

The stills are taken from the opening two episodes which are both set to premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) - no plot details are known about either.

San Junipero is directed by Owen Harris (Kill Your Friends) and stars Mackenzie Davis (The Martian) and Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Belle).

Going by these images, it'll be a period piece - the former seems to be shopping in the same places as Barb from Stranger Things - but that's all we're getting.

Nosedive is the name of episode two and this is the one that's been directed by Joe Wright (Atonement, Hanna).

This episode stars Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World) and Alice Eve - who recently didn't appear in Star Trek Beyond - in a story written by Parks and Recreation's co-creator Michael Schur and actor Rashida Jones.

Unsurprisingly, one image shows a group of people - Dallas Howard's character included - stopped in their tracks, staring at their respective mobile phone screen which we could have guessed was Black Mirror had we not known.

It was recently announced that the upcoming episodes will be scored by Portishead's Geoff Barrow, Max Richter (The Leftovers), Bear McCreary (The Walking Dead) and Clint Mansell (Black Swan).

All six episodes of Black Mirror's third season will be available to view on Netflix from 21 October 2016.
