LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Season 6 of ‘Black Mirror’ will follow the concept of the previous 5 seasons. Each of its 5 films are set in a futuristic dystopian setting where the characters are haunted in strange ways by the technology that surrounds them. While being weird and thrilling, the series also takes on themes of real societies and imagines them in a fictional world, stretching our imagination about how tech might be used in the wrong hands. 

The 5 films that make up this sixth season focus on unique characters who have different quests and have to struggle through unpredictable situations created by the ever-overwhelming technology around them. Charlie Brooker, the writer and creator of this series, tried to experiment with ChatGPT to write the plots but failed! After that Brooker relied on his own creativity and has written all the 5 films with a couple of (human) collaborators on the team. 

What are the ‘Black Mirror’ episodes about?

Since the show consists of 5 completely distinct films, all of them have separated plots. The known synopses of the films are as follows:

'Joan Is Awful': A woman finds out that a popular streaming service has made a show on her life.

'Loch Henry': A couple goes to a Scottish town to shoot a documentary and stumbles upon the stories of its past.

'Beyond the Sea': Set in 1969, this film follows two men who face immense tragedy in a high-tech setting.

'Mazey Day': A young actress has to tackle the paps while also avoiding an accident.

'Demon 79': A sales assistant is told to commit inhumane acts to prevent things from getting worse.
