Black Mirror season 5 release date: Bandersnatch has pushed back new episodes

Due to the “enormous” amount of time spent spent developing the film

Over the festive period, Netflix subscribers enjoyed Black Mirror's first "choose your own adventure" episode, titled Bandersnatch.

Unfortunately, due to the “enormous” amount of time spent spent developing the film, the fifth season of Charlie Brooker's series has been delayed.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, producer Annabel Jones confirmed that upcoming episodes have been pushed back but will arrive later in 2019. Netflix has not confirmed an exact release date or episode count.

During the same interview, Jones spoke about the Bandersnatch's multiple endings. “Some of them are slightly more Black Mirror dark, more comedic experiences, and some of them are more horrible, paranoid experiences," she said.

"But they all can work in [Fionn Whitehead's character] Stefan’s mind. In a way, it’s like taking a whole Black Mirror season with the different genres and experiences, and putting them into one film for Stefan to experience. It should feel like they are all earned."
