“Well, luckily it does have a future, so I can confirm that Black Mirror will return, just in time for reality to catch up with it,” Brooker said. “That chunk of my brain has already been activated and is whirring away.”

“Our very early episodes were all punk singles, and then we started doing occasional ballads like ‘San Junipero,’” Brooker said.
Brooker says he’s still figuring out what kind of tune he wants for the show’s eighth season, but he also made it clear that it’s “very unlikely you’ll ever see a Black Mirror hoedown.”
