Black Mirror Season 5: Everything We Know So Far
Netflix dropped the first trailer for Black Mirror season five last week, and it featured Miley Cyrus wearing a purple wig. That was the only thing we could 100 percent understand from that confusing teaser—the rest was a total mystery.
Check it out for yourself here:
But now we have a little more clarification: On Tuesday, May 21, Netflix released the full trailer for Cyrus' Black Mirror episode. Give it a watch, below, and find out everything else we know about the upcoming fifth season.
The premiere date: June 5, 2019. So soon!
The storylines: The trailer for Cyrus' episode is quite trippy. Titled "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too," it centers on a purple-haired pop star (Cyrus) who introduces an Alexa-type robot toy to her legion of dedicated fans. But all doesn't go as planned. Cyrus' character and the doll seem to be connected in an eerie, dangerous way. Check out the trailer for yourself, and you'll see exactly what I mean.
And here are the trailers for the other two episodes. The first one is titled "Smithereens."
The second one is called "Striking Vipers."
The episode count: Three.
The cast: Confirmed cast members include Anthony Mackie, Miley Cyrus, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Topher Grace, Damson Idris, Andrew Scott, Nicole Beharie, Pom Klementieff, Angourie Rice, Madison Davenport, and Ludi Lin. Their exact roles in these stories are unknown.
Technology is still playing a crucial role: Variety notes this season will dive deeper into artificial intelligence, smart technology, and virtual reality. According to The Hollywood Reporter, technology will specifically intersect with the concepts of "marriage, self-esteem, fame, social media, and mental health."
Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones are still at the helm: Brooker is the writer and creator, and he executive-produces alongside Jones.
Of course, this post will be updated with more information as it comes in.
