"Black Mirror" will be on its third season once it premieres this October. It is a series of twisted tales, and each episode will have a different set of stars, writers and directors. Each story is different from the other as the series unfolds. However, one thing that the stories have in common is the setting, which is futuristic as they find ways of how technology and humanity diverge.
What to Expect
The series does not imply that technology is evil though; it simply shows how gadgets amplify human imperfections. The series also shows how technology can uncover the unhealthiest parts of being human.
"Black Mirror" season 3 will debut with six episodes, each with a different storyline and cast. The first episode is titled "San Junipero," featuring Gugu Mbatha-Raw of "Touch" and Mackenzie Davis of "Halt and Catch Fire," and the episode will be directed by Owen Harris.
