The new season of Black Mirror is coming to your screen tomorrow.

Season 5 of Black Mirror is coming to Netflix on Wednesday, 5 June, and we are ready to be completely messed up by it.

One of the episodes of the new season of the sci-fi show will feature pop star Miley Cyrus, playing a pop star in the terrifying universe of Black Mirror, and Cyrus reckons that world isn’t that different to our own one.

The 26-year-old, who claims to have seen every episode of the show, stars in an episode titled Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too, and it looks like it’s going to be a good ‘un.

Speaking to The Guardian about what drew her to the script, she said: “I think it’s an important story that needs to be told, such a realistic take on what it’s like working in the music industry.

“It really portrays the overt exploitation of artists and that numbers usually eclipse the creative most of the time.”

Talking about the similarities between the world of pop music that she’s lived through, and the one in the series, she said: “Eerily so … yes. You can see it playing out in the media right now. There’s huge similarities with what we see in pop music today.”

Take a look at the trailer for her episode here:
