Netflix’s sci-fi horror playground, Black Mirror, isn’t done yet! Creator Charlie Brooker announced the eighth season is inbound, reassuring us that reality hasn’t quite caught up enough to skip it. Brooker likened past episodes to punk singles, hinting new stories might be a weird new album, though he danced around specifics like he’s dodging spoilers at a therapy session.
