Black Mirror Anthology Series Set for 12 New Episodes

BEVERLY HILLS: Netflix has commissioned 12 all-new episodes of Charlie Brooker’s anthology series Black Mirror, which are scheduled to begin production in late 2015.

The new chapters will be produced by House of Tomorrow. Brooker and Annabel Jones, who executive produced the first seven episodes of the series, will continue to serve as executive producers and showrunners for the new episodes. Brooker has already starting writing the new episodes. Premiere date and episode rollout will be announced at a later time. The series will premiere internationally in all Netflix territories outside of the U.K. and Ireland, where plans are still being determined.

"It's all very exciting—a whole new bunch of Black Mirror episodes on the most fitting platform imaginable," said Brooker. "Netflix connects us with a global audience so that we can create bigger, stranger, more international and diverse stories than before, whilst maintaining that Black Mirror feel. I just hope none of these new story ideas come true."

"Charlie has created a one-of-a-kind series with an uncanny voice and prescient, darkly comedic vision," said Cindy Holland, the VP of original content at Netflix. "We’re tremendously proud to bring Black Mirror to our members as a Netflix original series."
