Get your binge-watching pants ready, because Charlie Brooker’s The Computer Did It (popularly known as Black Mirror), has revealed trailers for each episodes from its upcoming season.
Ever since Black Mirror first premiered back in 2011, it has been one of the most consistently popular televisions series going around.
With razor-sharp writing, phenomenal casting, and modern tales of science-fiction, it was viewed as something of a millennial version of The Twilight Zone (that is, until Jordan Peel brought back The Twilight Zone last month).
After season four wrapped up at the end of 2017, fans were forced to wait until the end of last year to receive ‘Bandersnatch’, a standalone film in the series which pays homage to choose-your-own-adventure books of yesteryear with its interactive style.
Now, with just weeks to go until season five kicks off, producers have unveiled trailers for each of the new season’s episodes.
Check out the trailer for ‘Smithereens’:
Consisting of just three episodes (hey, quality over quantity, right?), Black Mirror season five is set to premiere on June 5th, and will feature guest spots from the likes of Miley Cyrus, Topher Grace, Damson Idris, Andrew Scott, Nicole Beharie, and, Madison Davenport, just to name a few.
“There are quite a few worlds we haven’t been in before,” executive producer Annabel Jones explained to Entertainment Weekly. “Some of them are very socially relevant, but also with that great Black Mirror black-comedy sense of mischief and romp in them as well.”

In ‘Smithereens’, “A cab driver with an agenda becomes the centre of attention on a day that rapidly spirals out of control,” with Andrew Scott, Damson Idris, and Topher Grace appearing in this episode.
The second episode, ‘Rachel, Jack And Ashley, Too’, stars Miley Cyrus, Angourie Rice, and Madison Davenport, and focuses on “a lonely teenager [who] yearns to connect with her favourite pop star — whose charmed existence isn’t quite as rosy it appears…”
Finally, the third episode, starring Anthony Mackie, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Nicole Beharie, Pom Klementieff, and Ludi Lin, is titled ‘Striking Vipers’, and features “two estranged college friends [who] reunite in later life, triggering a series of events that could alter their lives forever.”
