Black Mirror, the British science fiction series created by Charlie Brooker that brought you prime ministerial pig fucking, Jon Hamm as a for-hire seduction coach, clones of your dead spouse, and other things that make you fear for our near futures, is being renewed for another 12 episodes thanks to Netflix.The company said in a statement that Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones, who started a production group called House of Tomorrow last year, would be returning as the series' showrunners. Best of all, the series is releasing internationally, as opposed to locking out anyone without a UK Channel 4 subscription.Netflix hasn't clarified how it'll structure the seasons for those hour-long episodes, which we can only guess will be released at the same time every season. But if it's following the spirit of UK shows, expect four episodes per season with intermittent Christmas/holiday specials."It's all very exciting—a whole new bunch of Black Mirror episodes on the most fitting platform imaginable. Netflix connects us with a global audience so that we can create bigger, stranger, more international and diverse stories than before, whilst maintaining that Black Mirror feel," Brooker said, "I just hope none of these new story ideas come true."
