When the first couple of seasons of “Black Mirror” were released, the series was viewed as a peek into an alternate future/reality where our worst technological fears would come to life. But now, the series can be viewed as prophecy, as our worst fears seem to be more and more like reality.
So, when Netflix releases new trailers for the upcoming season of “Black Mirror,” we don’t share them because we think they’re cool and worth your time. (Obviously, that’s the case.) But we almost feel it’s our civic duty to share these glimpses at what our future will likely resemble. And damn, we’re all screwed.
Here’s are the details for each episode:
“STRIKING VIPERS”
Cast: Anthony Mackie, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Nicole Beharie, Pom Klementieff, Ludi Lin
Synopsis: Two estranged college friends reunite in later life, triggering a series of events that could alter their lives forever.
“RACHEL, JACK AND ASHLEY, TOO”
Cast: Miley Cyrus, Angourie Rice, Madison Davenport
Synopsis: A lonely teenager yearns to connect with her favorite pop star – whose charmed existence isn’t quite as rosy it appears…
“SMITHEREENS”
Cast: Andrew Scott, Damson Idris, Topher Grace
Synopsis: A cab driver with an agenda becomes the center of attention on a day that rapidly spirals out of control.
As always, the new season comes from the mind of “Black Mirror” mastermind Charlie Brooker and executive producer Annabel Jones. The new episodes of “Black Mirror” arrive on Netflix on June 5.
