Creator teases Netflix’s Black Mirror S6 & USS Callister spinoff

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

The fifth season of Netflix and Charlie Booker's sci-fi anthology series BLACK MIRROR hit the streaming giant exclusively earlier this month featuring three all-new stories from mastermind Charlie Brooker and executive producer Annabel Jones. And today Brooker and Jones are already teasing Season 6 and a rumored spinoff of (arguably) the show's best episode “USS Callister” (see image above and featurette below).

Brooker said:

Both of those things are things we can’t say anything about. And the fact that my voice is getting higher doesn’t tell you anything. I was trying to see how high my voice could go there as a distraction from answering the question.

And then Jones added: 

Yes, I’m not sure what we can say… I was about to say if something is coming out in December, then I’m very anxious. But I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say that, so I’m going to say nothing.

When the pair were asked if they’re working on Season 6, Jones said:

[We] never stop working. Whether Netflix will let us make it become Season 6 is another thing. But we’re constantly working out new ideas, yes.

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. The series is created and written by Charlie Brooker, and executive produced by Brooker and Annabel Jones. Black Mirror Season 5 is streaming now on Netflix.
