You’ve pondered the possibility of transferable consciousnesses. Wondered whether your life is merely a simulation. Imagined spending eternity locked in an empty alternative universe. Pictured the Prime Minister fucking a pig. What will the next season of Charlie Brooker’s wonderfully dark and thought provoking anthology bring?

One new element that seems certain is a participatory aspect. Yes, the viewer will allegedly be given options throughout the story that will change the outcome. Maybe the conclusion of Crocodile would have been more pleasant if the viewer could have prevented the investigator from questioning Mia. Although this might sound far-fetched or overly ambitious, Black Mirror is the only show on television with enough imagination to pull this off.

As for the release date, despite nothing being set in stone, if season 5 follows previous models we may see this new season by the end of the year. Also if it carries on with already seen patterns, we should see 6 new episodes.

Nonetheless, this interactive episode of Black Mirror will easily be the most watched ever, alternative plot twists will lead to a new level of binge watching. Although there is no official trailer, this menacing teaser was posted.
