Season 5 of Black Mirror will be out 'sooner than you think'

Charlie Brooker has confirmed the good news.

In the world of Black Mirror, time can be a very tricky thing.

For example, in The National Anthem, time was against the British prime minister as the authorities had to track down a kidnapped member of the British royal family. He definitely didn't have a good time with the pig.

The Entire History of You is all about a boyfriend that constantly questions, evaluated, and dwells on the time that he spends with his girlfriend. Time to yourself can break you.

Be Right Back is a lamentation on heartbreak and the desire to have more time with the people we love. Time is precious with those you love.

White Bear is very much about the present time and the infatuation of trial by media. We live in strange times.

San Junipero is n exquisite story about love across different times and decades, while Hang the DJ is all about valuing and appreciating your time with the right person.


Spend your time with those that deserve it.

With Bandersnatch doing a wonderful job of filling the torturous Black Mirror-shaped hole that we all had in our lives since the end of Season 4, now is the time to look ahead and Charlie Brooker has said that Season 5 will arrive sooner than you think.

Time to get excited.

In an interview with Radio Times, the Black Mirror creator said that: "It’s all imminent-ish. It’ll be out soon" before adding that “I don’t know what you think, or I’d say it’s out ‘sooner than you think."

In the book Inside Black Mirror, Brooker also gave some hints about what fans can expect to see in Season 5.

The Black Mirror creator said that he'd like to revisit two episodes in particular — floating the possibility of two episodes: Return to White Bear and Return to San Junipero. The original versions of these episodes came with two of the most surprising twists the show has ever offered, so we'd be very interested to see where it could go from there. While other details are quite scarce, we do know that Miley Cyrus will be involved with the new season. Time to let the speculation begin!
