CELEBRITY FRIDAY: Black Mirror Announces Season 4 Episodes and Actors

Black Mirror is a wickedly funny, very irreverent and frequently brilliant television series at Netflix about our modern obsession with technology, devices and computer.  The eponymous "black mirror" refers to the screen of an unpowered device. Recently, the producers announced that Season 4 will contain six episodes and revealed the titles and actors involved:

• “Arkangel” stars Rosemarie Dewitt, Brenna Harding and Owen Teague. It is directed by Jodie Foster.
• “Black Museum” stars Douglas Hodge, Letitia Wright and Babs Olusanmokun. It is directed by Colm McCarthy.
• “Crocodile” stars Andrea Riseborough, Andrew Gower and Kiran Sonia Sawar. It is directed by John Hillcoat.
• “Hang the DJ” stars Georgina Campbell, Joe Cole and George Blagden. It is directed by Tim Van Patten.
• “Metalhead” stars Maxine Peake, Jake Davies and Clint Dyer. It is directed by David Slade.
• “USS Callister” stars Jesse Plemons, Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson and Michaela Coel. It is directed by Toby Haynes. Brooker has co-written this episode with William Bridges.

Notice that Jodie Foster will be directing one of the episodes ("Arkangel"). The Season 3 episode "San Junipero" revolves around a very interesting lesbian love story and has been nominated for two Primetime Emmy awards.

It is expected that Season 4 of Black Mirror will begin streaming before the end of the year.
