Black Mirror to Return for Season 8, Charlie Brooker Confirms
Charlie Brooker has confirmed that Black Mirror will return for Season 8, extending the dystopian anthology's run on Netflix.
Charlie Brooker has confirmed that Black Mirror will return for Season 8. The announcement extends the dystopian anthology series' run on Netflix, where it has been a flagship title since the streamer picked it up.
The show's path to Netflix was hardly straightforward. Black Mirror began on Channel 4, where it aired two seasons. Channel 4 told Brooker and Annabel Jones that the show faced budget restraints and needed a co-producer to continue.
That constraint set off a bidding war involving HBO and AMC, which ended with Netflix winning the show at the last minute. The move turned a cult British series into a global franchise.
Controversy has followed the show from the start. The premiere episode, 'The National Anthem,' was one of the most complained-about shows of 2011.
No release date or episode details for Season 8 have been announced.
