Season 6 is on its way at last.
It’s official – Black Mirror season 6 is on its way after a long, long wait.
Yep, it’s been four years since Charlie Brooker’s terrifying creation was last on screen but now, not only do we have a release date and trailer, but the titles of the five episodes that will presumably traumatise us. We can’t wait!
The absolutely incredible cast, including Aaron Paul, Salma Hayek and Kate Mara among a host of other famous faces, will star in five very different stories.
Meanwhile, creator Brooker is determined to make the season completely different to what he’s done before so expect some surprises.
Here’s everything we know so far about Black Mirror season 6! While we’re waiting, why not catch up on the best episodes of the show? Or refresh yourself on how to watch the series in chronological order?
Black Mirror season 6 release date: when is it out on Netflix?
Black Mirror season 6 will land on Netflix in 15th June 2023 at 8am BST.
Announcing the exciting news of the June release, Brooker said at the time: “I’ve always felt that Black Mirror should feature stories that are entirely distinct from one another, and keep surprising people – and myself – or else what’s the point? It should be a series that can’t be easily defined, and can keep reinventing itself.”
“Partly as a challenge, and partly to keep things fresh for both me and the viewer, I began this season by deliberately upending some of my own core assumptions about what to expect.”
Consider us intrigued…

- Beyond the Sea: “In an alternative 1969, two men on a perilous high-tech mission wrestle with the consequences of an unimaginable tragedy.”
- Mazey Day: “A troubled starlet is dogged by invasive paparazzi while dealing with the consequences of a hit-and-run incident.”
