Although a "Black Mirror" season appears almost annually, fans will probably not see any new episodes in 2020. Series creator Charlie Brooker is to blame.
- In June 2019 the fifth season of the SciFi series "Black Mirror" was released .
- Fans had hoped that the sequel would appear a year later.
- Series creator Charlie Brooker is currently not interested in working on season 6.
For many Netflix users, it is now part of the time to dig up some time each year for the new episodes of the SciFi series "Black Mirror" . In 2020, this will probably not be necessary because series creator Charlie Brooker refuses to work on a sequel.
But there is no all-clear for fans : there should definitely be a sixth season of "Black Mirror" . However, it will probably not appear on Netflix * before 2021.
"Black Mirror" on Netflix: Season 5 of the SciFi series garnered bitter reviews
Bad tongues would say that they can already guess what the delays are related to. Although the first seasons of the series received a lot of positive criticism, the recessions for Season 5 turned out to be much worse. Especially the episode "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too" with singer Miley Cyrus was not so well received by many fans. One of the reasons for this: In this case, the makers have given up a dark, typical atmosphere for "Black Mirror".
Does series creator Charlie Brooker now need more time to rethink his ideas for season 6? This might have another advantage because it would leave more room to produce a larger number of episodes. The fifth season comprises only three episodes , while the two previous seasons each have six episodes.
