Since its launch in 2011, BlackMirror It has been placed among the favorite and most beloved series on Netflix. That is why this production that tells stories about the dangers of technological dependency to which we are exposed every day, has managed to hook the public for five seasons.
After its last installment in 2019, the fans of the saga believed that the series had come to an end. However, after three long years, the platform of streaming revealed that the recording of the sixth season is already in process, so a new installment is confirmed, as published on the Variety site.
Although at the moment there are no more details about what will happen in this new installment, what is certain is that the sixth season will have more chapters than the fifth, since the previous one only had three chapters, which were starred by Andrew Scott, Anthony Mackie, Yahya Abdul-Mateen ll, Thorper Grace and Miley Cyrus.
Many people have wondered why they have waited so many years to release a new installment, and the answer is that in January 2020, both its creator, Charlie Brooker, and his creative partner, Annabel Jones, left their production company House of Tomorrow, backed by Endemol Shine Group, to begin work for production brand Broke and Bones.

Despite the fact that Netflix did not hesitate to seek them out to invest and continue with the series, when Brooker and Jones left House of Tomorrow, the rights to BlackMirrorremained in the hands of the Endemol Shine Group company, which ended up being bought by the Banijay Group in June 2020, which prevented further chapters from being produced.
It was then that Netflix, concerned that fans were not satisfied with the end of the fifth season, decided to negotiate with Banijay to continue with the saga. That was how the company agreed to negotiate with the platform streaming and licensed them to the hit Netflix series.
When Brooker, the creator of BlackMirror was questioned in the magazine Radio Times of the United Kingdom, about the future of the series, he replied:
Right now, I don’t know what stomach there would be for stories about societies falling apart. So I’m not working on one of those. I really want to revisit my comedic skill set, so I’ve been writing scripts meant to make me laugh.
Something characteristic that was seen in the last season of the series is that the chapters were increasingly similar to a movie, since its duration exceeded 60 minutes, which allowed the story to develop in a better way. It seems that this format will continue in this sixth season, since the production has confirmed that this latest installment will be even more in the cinematographic style.
For now, we only know that the delivery of chapters is already in the recording process, and we can only wait for more details to be revealed about both its cast and what its release date will be.
