If you feel that your Peak TV viewing has been a little too safe, a new season of “Black Mirror” is on the way to break your brain. Charlie Brooker‘s anthology show has become increasingly popular, largely thanks to Netflix becoming the new home for the show, and bigger and bigger stars are joining in on the bleak, futuristic fun.
Season four will be no different, offering up a new batch of twisted stories, but the difference this time around, is that there will be even more familiar faces in front of the camera, and some big names behind the camera too. Here’s the episode breakdowns courtesy of Netflix:
