Black Mirror is set to return with another season, continuing its run as one of Netflix's most popular anthology series.
Netflix has officially confirmed that Black Mirror Season 8 is now in production. The new season began filming this summer, although the streaming platform has not announced a release date yet.
Series creator Charlie Brooker had previously confirmed that the dystopian anthology would return. In an interview with Netflix's Tudum, Brooker said that he was already developing ideas for the next season and suggested that the new episodes would continue exploring different tones and themes.
According to Variety, Brooker will write and produce the upcoming season alongside Bisha K. Ali. Jessica Rhoades, Annabel Jones and Louise Sutton will also serve as executive producers, while Mark Kinsella is attached as a co-executive producer. The series is licensed by Banijay Rights.
What To Expect From Black Mirror Season 8
Specific story details and episode plots for Season 8 have not been revealed. As an anthology series, Black Mirror typically presents a different story and set of characters in each episode, often focusing on technology, society and the darker side of human behaviour.
Brooker previously explained to Netflix Tudum that he thinks of each season like a music album, considering what ideas have already been explored and what tone he wants to create next. He also hinted that the upcoming season could continue to experiment with different styles.
Black Mirror's Return To Netflix
This season follows the sixth and seventh seasons, which kept the show's mix of science fiction, technology-based stories, and social issues.
While Netflix has confirmed that production is underway, fans will have to wait for an official release date. Details about the episode count, cast and individual storylines are also yet to be announced.
With Brooker once again leading the creative team, Season 8 is expected to bring more standalone stories while maintaining the unique tone that has defined Black Mirror since its debut.
