Netflix has given fans a reason for excitement, as they now confirm the release of the well-loved dystopian anthology series “Black Mirror” Season 6. The release dates have already been announced for June 2023 (Bloody Disgusting) after almost four years since the last season of “Black Mirror” was aired on Netflix; and what’s more, the streaming site has released a teaser trailer featuring a few snippets of what is to come. The sci-fi thriller, created by Charlie Brooker, has had an incredible reception since it first premiered back in 2011 with its commentary on technology and its macro and micro effects on society.
