Salma Hayek and Annie Murphy are in talks to join the cast of Netflix's anthology series Black Mirror for season 6.

Just yesterday, we heard that Rory Culkin (Scream 4) is joining the cast of Netflix’s anthology series Black Mirror for the show’s sixth season. Now Variety reports that Salma Hayek (Eternals) and Annie Murphy (Kevin Can F**k Himself) are also in talks to join the cast of Black Mirror season 6. Of course, no details have been shared about the characters they’ll be playing or the episodes they’ll be appearing in.

The first batch of Black Mirror season 6 cast members to be announced included 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) – and it has been said that all of those actors will be appearing in the first three episodes of the season.

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.

I haven’t seen any episodes of the series, but it’s clear that they are putting together a solid cast for Black Mirror season 6. Are you a fan of the show, and are you looking forward to the new season? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
