‘Black Mirror’ Creator Charlie Brooker Re-Teams With Netflix for Ritualistic Serial Killer Series
Netflix has announced a new upcoming series with “Black Mirror” creator Charlie Brooker, and while it doesn’t yet have a title, we do have the main cast and a plot synopsis this week.
Described as a crime thriller, the four-part series from Charlie Brooker will star Paddy Considine, Georgina Campbell, and Lena Headey, Netflix has announced via Tudum.
The streamer teases, “The untitled series is set between the fictional northern city of Bleakford and the streets of London, following a tormented detective on a relentless mission to catch a ritualistic serial killer before they run out of victims.”
The series is currently in production, and Netflix’s official announcement hints that it will be “wickedly funny,” with plenty of “blood and frowning” being promised by Brooker.
“I’m beyond thrilled to be saying these words for the press release. I’ve dreamt of providing a quote ever since I was a young foetus, and now here I am doing it,” Brooker jokes to Tudum. “I’d pinch myself, but like all of us, I’m terrified that if I do that, I might wake up and discover 2025 has all been a magical dream. Please watch my show. I am begging you.”
The series is created by Charlie Brooker, with executive producers Jessica Rhoades and Annabel Jones, co-executive producer Mark Kinsella, and producer Richard Webb.
The untitled series is written by Brooker with Ben Caudell, Jason Hazeley, Emer Kenny, Daniel Maier and Joel Morris, with additional material by Victoria Asare Archer.
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
