Key Takeaways:
- Black Mirror, the critically acclaimed Netflix series, is now in its sixth season. The fifth season of the show launched in 2019 to mixed reviews.
The internationally acclaimed Netflix series Black Mirror is entering its sixth season. The show's fifth season premiered in 2019 to mixed reviews from audiences. Fans began to respond to the news of the new season shortly after it was announced.
According to Variety, season six is expected to include more episodes than season five. Details about the cast, as well as specific stories of the show, have yet to be revealed. "The latest season becomes even more theatrical in scope, with each installment getting treated as an independent film," Variety reports.
The previous installment came after the release of Bandersnatch, an interactive Black Mirror stand-alone film in which spectators are invited to make decisions that alter the plot. In the fifth season, Andrew Scott, Anthony Mackie, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Topher Grace, and Miley Cyrus starred.
"The twist is they will be really beautiful, wonderful, life-affirming stories this time," one Twitter user said in response to the announcement. "I hope it's truly good again," commented another. The last series was disappointing." "It's been so long," one person wrote, while another inquired, "What's the cast?"
"Great news!" exclaimed one person. #BlackMirror is fantastic, yet real-life has recently felt like a black mirror, which is unsettling." "I just can't keep calm," one admirer exclaimed, excited by the news.
"Season 5 can't help but feel like a placeholder, something developed merely to fulfill certain contractual requirements, or possibly to buy Brooker more time to create the next Bandersnatch," writes the Hindustan Times in its assessment of the fifth season.
Black Mirror's battery is depleting faster than it used to at five seasons old; its body is chipped, and its screen is shattered. It's too early to think of a replacement, but a brief trip to the service center might be in order."
