Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker has responded to criticisms that Netflix “ruined” the show.The anthology show was originally launched on Channel 4, where it stayed for two seasons.

Miley Cyrus has revealed her house burnt down while she was filming Black Mirror.The singer and actor, who starred in season five episode Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too as fictional popstar Ashley O, recalled how her house in Malibu was affected by the 2018 Woolsey fire while she filmed the episode in South Africa.As part of her Used To Be Young series on TikTok, Cyrus explained how the incident contributed to an “anxious vision” later in life.“Like probably two or three years later, after this happened, I didn’t understand, but I would have this anxiety attack with a vision attached – that I would be strapped down to a gurney,” Cyrus said. “So I would have these dreams any time I would go to perform.“I thought that was just an anxious vision that made no sense, but actually, as my house was burning down, I was strapped to a gurney with my hands locked in handcuffs, strapped to a bed.”Used To Be Young (Series) – PART 36 ♬ Used To Be Young – Miley Cyrus Later in the clip, Cyrus said, “Found out my house had burnt to the ground, this was the next day,” before showing a clip of her as Ashley O performing track ‘On A Roll’.“The show must go on,” she added.The 2018 Woolsey wildfire burned in Los Angeles and Ventura County in California, killing three people and destroying over 1,600 structures.Cyrus, who lived with her then-partner Liam Hemsworth at the time, described herself as “one of the lucky ones” despite her house burning down in the fires.“My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely and that’s all that matters right now,” Cyrus wrote on Twitter.

Black Mirror.On Thursday, the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) officially declared its intention to go on strike, with one of the many areas of concern for the union being the use of AI within the industry.During a press conference, SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland said that the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) had made a so-called “groundbreaking” proposal that, with the use of AI, would allow the likenesses of film and television background performers to be used indefinitely.“They propose that our background performers should be able to be scanned, get paid for one day’s pay, and their company should own that scan of their image, their likeness and should be able to use it for the rest of eternity in any project they want with no consent and no compensation,” he said (via Reuters). “So if you think that’s a groundbreaking proposal, I suggest you think again.”Many have since noted that the proposal is eerily reminiscent of the season six Black Mirror episode ‘Joan Is Awful’, in which actors and members of the public have their likeness used in AI-generated TV shows.This scene in Black Mirror's 'Joan is Awful' about how entertainment companies could control a person's likeness and use it as they desire, including data from cellphones, is frightening — and according to the SAG-AFTRA negotiations, not too far off from reality.Chilling.

The show originally began on Channel 4 in 2011, before shifting over to Netflix from season three onwards in 2016.The show’s sixth season, which starred Aaron Paul, Zazie Beetz and Salma Hayek Pinault, was described as “the most unpredictable, unclassifiable and unexpected yet,” per a synopsis.

The sixth season of “Black Mirror,” Charlie Brooker’s award-winning anthology series that Netflix turned into an original in 2016, might be the most inconsistent in the show’s history. At first, it’s tempting to dismiss it entirely as a production that’s past its sell-by date, especially given how much the world has changed in the four years since the last installment.

Charlie Brooker has responded to a viral theory connecting new Black Mirror episode ‘Mazey Day’ to Twilight.This article contains spoilers for episode four of the new season.Episode four of season six of Brooker’s dystopian series teases the synopsis: “A troubled starlet, Mazey, is dogged by invasive paparazzi while dealing with the consequences of a hit-and-run incident.”The big twist of ‘Mazey Day’ is that – major spoiler alert – Mazey turns into a werewolf.After fans watched the episode, a theory subsequently did the rounds on social media about the episode’s central song, Muse‘s ‘Supermassive Black Hole’, which also famously features in the baseball scene of the werewolves versus vampires film franchise Twilight.“Somebody pointed [the link] out to me,” Brooker told NME before the season six release. “They asked me if it was winking at [Mazey’s fate], which it wasn’t necessarily…”“The wink was something that, if it happened, it happened very subconsciously for all of us,” added executive producer Jessica Rhoades.

Salma Hayek has admitted that she was worried about playing herself in the new season of Black Mirror.The actress appears in the sixth season of Charlie Brooker’s dystopian anthology series, starring in an episode titled ‘Joan Is Awful’.In the episode, a woman named Joan (Annie Murphy) learns that her life has been turned into a TV show on a Netflix-style streaming service, with Salma Hayek playing her.Speaking to Radio Times about her role, Hayek said that Black Mirror had gifted her “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play an interpretation of myself”.“I got to explore the concepts and clichés people have about me and be self-deprecating,” she said.“It’s as if I created an alter ego where I could do the most disgusting, grotesque things that you would never do in real life… and have permission to do that.”Hayek added: “There are so many moments that shocked me in the script. There is one huge one that I had to come to terms with, and made me ask myself, ‘Do I really want to do this? Am I going to get in trouble?’’”‘Joan Is Awful’ co-stars Michael Cera, Ben Barnes and Rob Delaney.

Charlie Brooker‘s “Black Mirror” is arguably our modern version of twisty genre shows like “The Twilight Zone” and “Outer Limits” but specifically focuses on the dark side of technology from the exploitation of digital people referred to as Cookies to how tech can be used against us or hurts society. More often than not we see characters navigating a dystopian setting.

BBC horror series Red Rose has been praised and compared to Black Mirror in early reactions.Created by Michael and Paul Clarkson, whose previous credits include shows The Haunting Of Bly Manor and Amazon’s The Wheel Of Time, Red Rose is a British horror drama about a group of teens in Bolton and a mysterious, controlling app with insidious intentions.The show’s cast features a wealth of newcomers, including Amelia Clarkson, Isis Hainsworth, Natalie Blair, Ellis Howard, Ali Khan, Ashna Rabheru, Adam Nagaitis, Natalie Gavin, Samuel Anderson and Harry Redding.All eight episodes of the show were released on BBC iPlayer on Monday (August 15), with early reactions comparing the technological nightmare to Black Mirror.One viewer wrote: “A few episodes into Red Rose and it’s VERY good.

We haven’t seen any new “Black Mirror” episodes since the fifth season debut back in June 2019. There had been some doubt that a follow-up would even happen after series creator Charlie Brooker hinted they weren’t rushing to make the next season because reality was too grim.

Black Mirror is in development.Variety reports that a source said that the forthcoming Netflix series is more cinematic in scope and will comprise more episodes than season five, which aired in 2019.The previous three-episode season starred Andrew Scott, Anthony Mackie, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Topher Grace and Miley Cyrus.As Variety notes, the new season of Black Mirror will be the first since since creator Charlie Brooker and his creative partner Annabel Jones left their production company House of Tomorrow, which was backed and licensed by Endemol Shine Group, in January 2020.Brooker and Jones have since set up their own company, Broke and Bones, which Netflix invested in as part of a five-year arrangement.Part of the reason why there haven’t been any new episodes for three years is because Endemol Shine Group (acquired by Banijay Group in 2020) continued to own the rights to Black Mirror. A license deal between Banijay Rights and Netflix has since been reached.The future of Black Mirror was also in doubt a couple of years ago.
