Black Mirror will be back to spook us soon enough.

Netflix confirmed on Wednesday that Charlie Brooker's award-winning sci-series series will return June 15 with five new installment.

A trailer released in tandem with the premiere date announcement gave a taste of the upcoming stories, including one set in space and a throwback episode set in 1979.

As ever, a host of famous names have joined the cast, including Schitt’s Creek fan favorite Annie Murphy.

In “Joan is Awful,” Murphy’s character freaks out after a streaming service platform makes a less-than-flattering TV adaptation of her life starring none other than Salma Hayek Pinault.

Following the announcement of the show's return last month, series creator Charlie Brooker told Tudom.com how he plans to keep "surprising" viewers.

"It should be a series that can't be easily defined, and can keep reinventing itself. So partly as a challenge, and partly to keep things fresh for both me and the viewer, I began this season by deliberately upending some of my own core assumptions about what to expect," he shared. 

"Consequently, this time, alongside some of the more familiar Black Mirror tropes we've also got a few new elements to stretch the parameters of what 'a Black Mirror episode' even is."
