Black Mirror season 6: Rory Culkin has joined the cast of Netflix anthology

Last month, we heard that Zazie Beetz (Atlanta), Josh Hartnett (Penny Dreadful), Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Kate Mara (House of Cards), Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Danny Ramirez (Top Gun: Maverick), Clara Rugaard (Love Gets a Room), Auden Thornton (Arlington Road), and Anjana Vasan (Spider-Man: Far from Home) has signed on to star in season 6 of the Netflix anthology series Black Mirror. Now Deadline reports that Rory Culkin (Scream 4) has been cast in an episode of the show as well.

No details have been revealed about any of the characters these cast members will be playing. We do know that, other than Culkin, all of the actors listed above will be appearing in the first three episodes of the season. It’s not clear when Culkin will be showing up.

Created and written by Charlie Brooker, who executive produces the show with Annabel Jones, Black Mirror is 

an anthology series that taps into our collective unease with the modern world, with each stand-alone episode a sharp, suspenseful tale exploring themes of contemporary techno-paranoia leading to an unforgettable – and sometimes unsettling – conclusion. Without questioning it, technology has transformed all aspects of our lives; in every home; on every desk; in every palm – a plasma screen; a monitor; a Smartphone – a Black Mirror reflecting our 21st Century existence back at us.

While the first two seasons of Black Mirror consisted of just three episodes, the third and fourth seasons were expanded to six episodes each. The fifth season returned to the three episode format. It has been said that season 6 will have more episodes than season 5, but we don’t know the exact count yet.

In addition to Scream 4, Rory Culkin’s credits include Signs, It Runs in the Family, The Chumscrubber, Intruders, Bullet Head, Lords of Chaos, Waco, Castle Rock, City on a Hill, 50 States of Fright, The Expecting, The Last Thing Mary Saw, and Under the Banner of Heaven.
