Netflix has just released the trailer for the fourth season of Black Mirror, announcing the titles of the episodes and the cast, which will premiere on the streaming service at the end of this year.
Since its premiere in 2011, Black Mirror has become an anthology series, where each episode is designed as an independent story. Each one explores the theme of "collective discomfort with the modern world", representing various new ways in which advanced technology transforms lives: from rating every interaction to uploading consciousness after death to practically living forever. Last year, Netflix acquired the rights to the series and ordered twelve additional episodes, and the first six debuted in the third season of Black Mirror on October 21, 2016.
The remaining six episodes will form the fourth season of Black Mirror. The following are the episode titles presented in the trailer, which do not necessarily reflect the order in which they will appear when available for premiere. Series creator Charlie Brooker has written every episode of the fourth season.
