As we learned a few months back, Netflix is developing “Black Mirror” Season 6, with production reportedly underway, and Variety brings us the first batch of casting news today.
Zazie Beetz, Paapa Essiedu, Josh Hartnett, Aaron Paul, Kate Mara, Danny Ramirez, Clara Rugaard, Auden Thornton and Anjana Vasan are all part of “Black Mirror” Season 6.
Variety notes, “This casting specifically spans three episodes, and it’s understood more actors will join up for further episodes of the show.”
Yes, that means “Black Mirror” Season 6 will have more than three episodes. As you may recall, “Black Mirror” Season 5 had only three episodes back in the summer of 2019.
Created by Charlie Brooker, “Black Mirror” is an anthology series that taps into our collective unease with the modern world, with each stand-alone episode a sharp, suspenseful tale exploring themes of contemporary techno-paranoia leading to an unforgettable – and sometimes unsettling – conclusion. Without questioning it, technology has transformed all aspects of our lives; in every home; on every desk; in every palm – a plasma screen; a monitor; a Smartphone – a Black Mirror reflecting our 21st Century existence back at us.
The hit series premiered in 2011, a sort of “Twilight Zone” for the modern day.
