Good news for all fans of creepy technological terror, satire and socio-political comment. Though it has been months since we’ve heard much about new episodes, rumours that Netflix has been in talks to produce new episodes of Charlie Brooker’s series appear to have blossomed into truth. According to the Radio Times, the streaming service will be backing at least one new series.
Nothing has been made official by the company yet, but RT’s report (first spotted by Birth.Movies.Death.) mentions that Brooker and his team will be writing more episodes of the dystopian show, which has been a slow-burning hit on Netflix across the pond following its arrival in December.
As for broadcast in the UK, it appears that the show’s regular home, Channel 4, will have a first-look deal on any new episodes, meaning that they’ll debut there before heading elsewhere, possibly as a day-and-date arrangement with Netflix’s other territories. Will the first one be about how Amazon Instant Video is slowly rotting our brains?
We’re keeping our fingers crossed and saving up our merits in the hope that it’s all made official shortly.
