Netflix is set to release new episodes of the dystopian anthology television series "Black Mirror" on Dec. 29. Six new episodes are on their way before 2017 ends, and fans are excited.
Each episode will tell different stories within a new dystopian version of reality. Netflix has already released the titles of the six upcoming episodes through a video trailer. Here are the titles of each episode in order: "Crocodile," "Arkangel," "Hang the DJ," "USS Callister," "Metalhead," and "Black Museum."
During an interview with Independent, show's producer Annabel Jones said it was a struggle to come up with new stories. "It's hard when you're an anthology series. I think all the new episodes in the fourth season all feel very different. There are things we've not yet explored and genres we haven't tackled," she explained.
Season 4 is packed with actors and actresses from several television series and movies. One of the biggest names to be included in season 4 is veteran actress Jodie Foster who directed the episode "Arkangel."
"Arkangel" is about a mother struggling to keep up with the technical world and at the same time take care of her young daughter. The episode centers on good parenting, according to its trailer.
Season 4 will make use of various filming elements in order to maximize every episode and their plots. Some episodes were also shot in other countries like Iceland and Canada. One of the most-awaited episodes in season 4 is "USS Calister." This story takes place on a space opera that somehow resembles the "Star Trek" franchise. Based on its episode trailer, this episode packs a lot of visual effects.
The producers of the show also decided to create a black and white episode, and that is what they did with "Metalhead."
The first episode, "Crocodile," takes on a world wherein memories are no longer private and can be extracted from people's minds. Season 4's comedy episode is "Hang the Dj" and is about the alternative reality people engage in daily. The sixth episode, "Black Museum," will take viewers to a museum that exhibits criminological artifacts.
The third season of the series received an impressive rating of 93 percent from Rotten Tomatoes.
