In just two weeks, Netflix will drop a new installment of Black Mirror. And after a years-long break between seasons 5 and 6, it looks like the dystopian sci-fi anthology has plenty more dark twists and turns in store for fans.
Check out the latest trailer showcasing Black Mirror season 6 below.
Though Netflix previously released a teaser for the upcoming set of episodes, this new clip offers a much more specific look at the stories to come. In particular, we get a good look at “Joan Is Awful,” which sees a woman’s (Annie Murphy) life transformed into a Netflix-style streaming series starring Salma Hayek. The new trailer also offers up footage from the other upcoming episodes.
