    Series six of the hit drama Black Mirror is coming to Netflix within months.

    The anthology show, set in near-future dystopias with sci-fi technology, will return to the global streaming platform in June for it's sixth and final season.

    The show will feature huge names like Salma Hayak, Aaron Paul, Kate Mara, and Joker actress Zazie Beetz.

    But in a new interview, the creator Charlie Brooker has teased the new set of episodes will feature points that he previously said we wouldn't do in the series.

    In an interview with Radio Times in 2020, he said: "At the moment, I don’t know what stomach there would be for stories about societies falling apart, so I’m not working away on one of those.

    "I'm sort of keen to revisit my comic skill set, so I’ve been writing scripts aimed at making myself laugh."

    However since that interview, a global pandemic raged worldwide and a head of iceberg lettuce outlasted a Prime Minister.

    The show has been on a four-year hiatus since 2019, after the fifth series aired which starred Andrew Scott and music superstar Miley Cyrus.

    But a new teaser trailer was released to fans, and it seems that promise didn't laugh as viewers were treated to brief dystopian scenes of fire and violence.

    And in another interview with the Tadum Netflix blog, the creator and show-runner once again confirmed that the upcoming series will be different as the show has to continue to "reinvent itself".

    He admitted: "I’ve always felt that Black Mirror should feature stories that are entirely distinct from one another and keep surprising people — and myself — or else what’s the point?

    "It should be a series that can’t be easily defined, and can keep reinventing itself."

    He revealed: "This time, alongside some of the more familiar Black Mirror tropes we’ve also got a few new elements, including some I’ve previously sworn blind the show would never do, to stretch the parameters of what ‘a Black Mirror episode’ even is,"

    You can stream the sixth series of Black Mirror on Netflix from June 6.
