Season five consisted of just three episodes though each of the episodes ran for over an hour. 

Season five featured a star-studded cast including Wrecking Ball singer Miley Cyrus, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier star Anthony Mackie, That 70s Show actor Topher Grace and Candyman star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. 

Variety also reported that a source close to the show said it will be even more ‘cinematic’ in scope with each episode being treated as a film.

Such treatment is not abnormal for Netflix when it comes to their biggest hits. The upcoming season of Stranger Things reportedly cost upwards of $30 million an episode. 

Production hit a standstill back in 2020 after Charlie Brooker and his creative partner Annabel Jones left their production company House of Tomorrow. 

House of Tomorrow’s parent company Endemol Shine Group still owned the rights to Black Mirror and sold them to Banijay Group in the summer of 2020.

Netflix was eventually able to work out a deal with a division of Banijay Group that licensed the show out to the streaming giant. 

Black Mirror first aired on Channel 4 back in 2011. It moved to Netflix beginning with its third season that aired in 2016. 

The show has won myriad awards including eight Primetime Emmys as well as a Peabody Award.
