Netflix has released the trailer for the upcoming season 6 of Black Mirror, the popular sci-fi anthology series that deals with the darker side of technology. However, with the recent advancements in AI and the growing fear of technology, can it still scare us?
The Changing Landscape of Technology
Since the show’s inception in 2011, a lot has changed in the world of technology. With season 5 premiering back in 2019, the idea of a series warning us about the horrors of technology now seems a bit outdated. Today, people are already experiencing plenty of fear when it comes to new tech, especially with the sudden advancements in AI. The concept of robots and machines replacing humans at their jobs is no longer science fiction; it’s already happening. Additionally, the recent heartbreak caused by the sudden lobotomy of sexy AI chatbots has only added to people’s worries.
What to Expect from Season 6
Despite these changes, fans of the series are still excited to watch the new season. Creator Charlie Brooker has promised “some crazy swings and more variety than ever before.” Moreover, the cast features some big names such as Aaron Paul, Kate Mara, Salma Hayek, Michael Cera, Rob Delaney, and Zazie Beetz.
The trailer for season 6 doesn’t give much away in terms of the specific types of technology that will ruin people’s lives. However, viewers can expect to see Aaron Paul on a space station, Zazie Beetz looking at a laptop, and various other devices such as a text message, a smartwatch, and an old-timey dialup modem.
In conclusion, while the concept of Black Mirror may seem outdated in today’s world, the series has produced some solid techno-yarns over the years. With the promise of more variety and an all-star cast, fans of the show can’t wait to see what the upcoming season has in store. Season 6 of Black Mirror is set to air on Netflix in June, although a specific release date has yet to be announced.
