Some have given us nightmares, others have thrilled us. But which of the 23 stories is the very best? You decide.
After four long years of waiting, it’s finally time to return to Charlie Brooker’s treasure trove of dark sci-fi stories, as hit anthology series Black Mirror returns to Netflix.
The trailer for the long-awaited sixth season of the anthology series has just been released, giving us a sense of the horrors and technological terrors in store for this new outing.
As is customary for the series, the new season has an absolutely stacked cast-list, with the likes of Aaron Paul, Ben Barnes, Himesh Patel, Kate Mara, Michael Cera, Paapa Essiedu, Salma Hayek Pinault, and Zazie Beetz all lining up to be a part of the chaos.
Brooker has said that he began writing the new season “by deliberately upending some of my own core assumptions about what to expect” and teased that he’s included some things he swore he would never do. Colour us ridiculously excited.

We’ve had our own say before, with RadioTimes.com having already ranked all 23 episodes. In our list, season 3’s San Junipero came out on top, while season 4’s ArkAngel brought up the rear.
Now it’s time for you to have your say and decide which is your favourite story from the collection. Could it be the first ever episode, starring Rory Kinnear as a Prime Minister forced to go to extreme lengths to rescue a princess?
Or could it be USS Callister, the Star Trek-inspired space romp which took a dark turn? Or maybe even Bandersnatch, the interactive film which let viewers decide the outcome?
And of course, who could forget White Christmas, a harrowing, dark treat which is sure to pop up on fans’ annual festive watch-list? All of these are on the table in our poll below, which will determine fans’ favourite episodes from across the entire season thus far, before the new instalments arrive in June.
