In a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Brooker delved into the longevity and future of 'Black Mirror.' He revealed that the show’s unique format, with standalone episodes, makes it virtually limitless. This flexibility allows the series to explore a wide array of themes and narratives, all connected by the overarching concept of 'Black Mirror.'
The series has seen extended breaks between seasons, leading some to fear it might have been cancelled. But fans can rejoice as Season 7 is already in production and slated for a 2025 release. Brooker expressed his enthusiasm for continuing to develop new stories and ideas for the show. He emphasized the limitless potential of 'Black Mirror,' saying that the nature of the series allows it to tell almost any kind of story.
In his interview, Brooker shared his passion for creating the show and his enjoyment of the entire process. “I'm in a really privileged position where I get to write this stuff, get it produced, and work with incredible people who also make me seem better. And I enjoy every minute,” he said.
He also revealed his favourite part of the process: editing. “The editing is actually my favourite part. And there is so much variation that it is, in many ways, limitless. I am sure I will find out when we stop doing seasons! I am confident that it will become evident to me at some point. But I'm in this for the long haul. I am not going.”
Season six of 'Black Mirror' ventured into numerous genres, including werewolves, mystery and horror. One standout episode from this season is 'Demon 79.' This finale revolves around a demon named Gaap, accidentally summoned by Nida, a sales representative living in England in 1979.
During her lunch hour, Nida unintentionally brings Gaap to life and he informs her that she must commit three murders within three days to prevent the end of the world.
