Miley Cyrus Joins 'Black Mirror' Season 5
by EG
The next season of Netflix's science fictionn anthology series Black Mirror announced some new additions to its cast this week. There are quite a few familiar names among the new cast members, include a pop star and an Avenger. Read on for details.
Black Mirror's long-awaited next season finally has a premiere date.
The fifth cycle of Charlie Brooker's sci-fi anthology will release June 5 on Netflix, the streaming giant revealed on Wednesday along with a trailer (watch below). Though recent Black Mirror seasons have been comprised of six standalone episodes, the fifth season has been trimmed down to three. The runtime of the new stories, however, have yet to be revealed. The episode titles also have yet to be released.
The announcement from Netflix teases three stories and "one future we should have seen coming." And the high-octane trailer weaves together the stories in such an action-packed and artful way that, as is typical to any Black Mirror teaser, viewers will certainly be left wanting more.
The cast for season five includes Anthony Mackie, Miley Cyrus, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Topher Grace, Damson Idris, Andrew Scott, Nicole Beharie, Pom Klementieff, Angourie Rice, Madison Davenport and Ludi Lin.
All of the actors can be spotted in the trailer, which hints that the episodes will be tackling technology's impact on marriage, self-esteem, fame, social media and mental health. The first look at the season reveals an Alexa-like doll from the future, a cell-phone induced assault and a VR escape for Cyrus. "Love, privacy, connection, sex, family, work and afterlife" are the words that flash among the clips.
