Black Mirror returns to Netflix with a sixth season. There are still not many details about what the next episodes will be about or who will be their protagonists, but it seems that we will see an even more cinematic scope. Read more here!
After almost three years since the last episode of BlackMirror in Netflix, it seems that the science fiction series full of suspense, drama and dystopia returns for a sixth season. This novelty surprises more than one, since the creator of the series, charlie brookerhad said years ago that in the context of the pandemic, he could not tell stories about societies that are falling apart.
As reported by the sixth season of BlackMirror It is already in process, as is the search for its protagonists. Although we assume that the theme will be the same, the details about the plot of the next chapters are kept under lock and key, although it is said that they will be more than season five, which only had three where we saw Andrew Scott, Anthony Mackie, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Topher Grace Y Miley Cyrus.
Apparently, the chapters to come (we still don’t know when) will have an even more cinematic scope than those we saw in previous seasons. In addition, according to Variety, each episode would be treated as if it were a movie, although that does not sound very different from what we had been seeing, since the chapters generally exceeded 60 minutes and had quite high production values.
As we said above, the creator charlie brooker He had assured that, with everything that was happening with the pandemic, he did not have in mind to continue the series: “Right now I don’t know how stories about falling apart societies could sit, so I’m not working on one of them. I feel like picking up my comedic chops again, so I’ve been writing scripts meant to make me laugh.”. However, that wasn’t the only reason we didn’t get more news for next season.
The sixth season of BlackMirror It would be the first to appear since brooker and his creative partner Annabelle Jones they left their production company House of Tomorrowbacked by Endemol Shine Groupin January 2020. They are now working under the new production brand Broke and Boneswhich caught the attention of Netflix quickly, since he proposed a mega agreement in which he acquires parts of the business for a period of five years, for a sum that could reach 100 million dollars.
However, when brooker Y jones abandoned House of Tomorrow, The rights of BlackMirror were in the hands of Endemol Shine Groupwhich was acquired by Banijay Group in 2020. That purchase prevented brooker Y jones produce more seasons for Netflixso they had to come to an agreement with Banijay to give them the license of the series.
What topics will we see in the next chapters of BlackMirror? Will they include more humor, will they continue along the same lines, will we feel that emptiness or strange feeling in our chest every time an episode ends? With the consequences of the pandemic so close, season 6 could hit us right where it hurts the most.
Now, is it a coincidence that Netflix make a sixth season of one of its most acclaimed series just when it is in the midst of a major crisis? It would be a good move, since the new chapters of BlackMirror they could attract new subscribers or even some who decided to unsubscribe from the platform.
