Netflix Announces Return of Black Mirror Season 8 with New Episodes by Charlie Brooker
Netflix has announced Black Mirror Season 8, continuing the series that has become one of its most successful properties. Series creator Charlie Brooker is writing the new episodes. Brooker told Netflix’s Tudum last Friday that Black Mirror would return, adding that he was full of ideas and wanted to explore concepts the show hadn’t yet attempted. He likened developing new Black Mirror stories to creating a diverse album. Georgi Banks-Davies will not be directing the new season, according to Brooker’s conversation with Tudum.

In other news, The Independent is investigating topics like reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. Their recent documentary, The A Word, focuses on American women fighting for their reproductive rights. Brooker noted that the overall tone of Season 8 remains uncertain.
