Although details about the new season of black mirror are scarce, Variety reports that it will have more than three episodes, which will make it at least longer than season 5. black mirror is known for its critique of aspects of modern society, so it will be interesting to see what stories the new season tells. Since the show's final season aired in 2019, the world has gotten much darker. In the past three years, the public has faced a devastating global pandemic, an attack on the US Congress and a large-scale war in Europe, three things most people thought could never happen.
With the real world already feeling so much like a dystopia, it's hard to imagine how the show could put a more dystopian spin on things. Fans will have to wait and see if black mirror season 6 either tries to tackle these topics or just avoids them altogether.
