"Black Mirror" just made its big season 3 premiere on Netflix last month, however, new reports indicate that the creative team behind the show has pretty big plans for the next season of the popular British science fiction series.

Now that all of the episodes of "Black Mirror" season 3 have been released on Netflix, Game N Guide speculates that Charlie Brooker, the creator and main writer of the series, may have already started work on the next season of the series so that production makes it in time for its release in fall next year. Given the impressive season 3 run, some predict that Netflix will be expecting much more from the upcoming season of "Black Mirror" and may ask for four more episodes to go with the regular six-episode run for the new season.

Fans may remember that the third season of the series had initially been pegged for 12 episodes on the network before getting its third season run cut down to six episodes. Now, many hope to see the six other episodes get clumped along with the next batch of episodes prepared for season 4 of the series.

Though Netflix has not yet made any confirmations on the air date of "Black Mirror" season 4, many expect the series to come out by September or October next year.

However, according to a report by Mobile & Apps, rumor has it that the new season of the popular speculative fiction series has already begun production and that fans may be able to get the new episodes in January next year. Other rumors also indicate that "Black Mirror" season 4 may even come out in late December as a gift for its viewers.

Fans have to remember, however, to take all of these speculations with a grain of salt as Netflix has not yet issued a confirmation on any of the reports.
