Expect the unexpected when Black Mirror Season 6 arrives this June.
The Emmy-winning anthology series has taken viewers on the most unsettling journeys over the past five seasons, but the latest installment will be the most unpredictable yet. With five brand-new episodes, creator Charlie Brooker is hoping to take the series to a whole new level. “The stories are all still tonally Black Mirror through and through — but with some crazy swings and more variety than ever before,” he recently told Tudum.
What can we expect from Season 6? Here are all five episode titles with a brief synopsis of each to give you a clue.
