The brand-new trailer for BlackMirror delivers a shocking twist about the upcoming episodes.
Last month, Netflix announced that not only Black Mirror was coming back this June, but also that series creator and writer Charlie Brooker decided to subvert his own format with the new batch of episodes. We still don’t know to what extent that will be true, but a new trailer suggests that the new season is certainly angling towards turning Black Mirror on its head.
The biggest difference from this season to the others is that the new “episodes" are referred to as five “films,” which may indicate that while the new season of Black Mirror might not be hefty in episode count, it could very well become the lengthier installment of the series. The five films' information also suggests self-contained stories – not that previous episodes weren’t that way too, but films provide less of a wiggle room for fans to try and find connections between them.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Another aspect that suggests Black Mirror is indeed willing to subvert its format is the film “Joan is Awful,” which is highly played up in the trailer and might be the standout of the season. In the story, Joan is flipping through a streaming platform called Streamberry when she finds a drama series that is completely based on her life, and her onscreen persona is played by Salma Hayek .
This isn’t the first time that Black Mirror has flirted with the feature film format, though. In Season 3, the episode “Hated in the Nation” ran for 90 minutes, while the interactive Bandersnatch has no specific runtime but was released on Netflix as a Black Mirror film. It doesn’t have a specific length because it plays out like a game in which the viewer gets to decide what the main character will do at certain key points of the story.
