Black Mirror release more trailers for Season 5 and the plot details for each episode

Paul Moore

Black Mirror Season 5

The new season arrives on 5 June.

Truth be told, in Bandersnatch, we’re still shook that the decision to choose between Frosties and Sugar Puffs took us longer than the choice about murdering Stefan’s father.

Read into that what you will.

Actually, given Black Mirror’s propensity for being eerily accurate with technological trends and how they can debase your moral compass, we don’t want Charlie Brooker to know anything about us.

Na, we’re kidding!

If the new season of Black Mirror is as good as what came before, we’ll even let Mr. Brooker have our passwords and personal details.

In the realm of Black Mirror, what’s the worst thing that could happen, eh?

Anyway, after the first trailer for the new episodes was released, the beloved anthology show is back with three new stories to tell.

Here’s what they’re about.
