Your support makes all the difference.Black Mirror’s fourth season touched down last year to much fanfare, critics praising the batch of episodes to high-heavens.
Anticipation for the fifth season, as you may suspect, remains incredibly high, fans of showrunner Charlie Brooker hoping another set of excellent episodes.
Speaking at the Royal Television Society Awards in London, Brooker revealed that one episode of the upcoming Netflix series has already started filming.
“Season five, we are filming one [episode] at the moment,” he told the audience, according to Radio Times.
“We are about to start filming another one imminently. I’m writing the next one and then it gets a bit more foggy.”
When exactly the next season will find its way onto the streaming service remains unknown, as do nearly all other details. The only sign we have comes from a teaser simply reading “be right back”, perhaps referencing the season two episode of the same naming starring Hayley Atwell and Domhnall Gleeson.
There’s also no word on how many episodes there will be — although, considering both other Netflix season have had six, fans are expecting another six.
"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 said before season four dropped.
