Channel 4 has suggested that there could be more Black Mirror in 2014, with a full season to follow on a 2015 release date.

Head of Comedy Phil Clarke spoke about the plans to Radio Times, which would consist of a one-off film and a subsequent full three-part series.

"That is definitely the hope," Clarke said. "Though of course a lot depends on whether Charlie Brooker finds the time to do them."

Black Mirror proved a big hit for the broadcaster in its first two series, spinning dark stories often depicting a dystopian world obsessed with technology.

Creator Brooker, who also produces a Weekly Wipe show for the BBC and writes for the Guardian, recently promised at least two more 'helpings' of the show.

"There will be more - I don't think I'm allowed to say quite when," he told Lauren Laverne on her BBC Radio 6Music show.

"There's going to be some and then there's going to be some more - you'll get one helping and then there'll be another helping."
