Black Mirror Season 6 is rumored to be coming to Netflix, but when will it be available? The series is created by Charlie Brooker and began in 2011 to grab the attention of the viewers with different and shocking plotlines in each episode. The show has managed to grab audiences with its incisive commentary on modern culture and technology, but fans still do not know the release date for Black Mirror Season 6.
After a lengthy absence, Black Mirror Season 5 returned in 2019 but it did not satisfy the viewers since it only had 3 episodes and in those episodes, Anthony Mackie played a guy battling with romance in both real life and virtual reality in “Striking Vipers,” while Andrew Scott played a cab driver haunted by a tragic phone blunder in “Smithereens”, and as in the last episode, Miley Cyrus played a pop artist who experiences unusual states of consciousness in the Season 5 finale, “Rachel, Jack, and Ashley Too”. All of these episodes were rare gems after the long break.
