There has been no word from the streaming service about the number of episodes, a firm release date, or any of the plotlines.
But Brooker and fellow executive producer Annabel Jones have previously said of a fifth series: ‘We would love to do it’
The last series, which landed late last year, comprised six episodes including the Star Trek-style thriller USS Callister; Arkangel directed by Jodie Foster and revolving around implant that prevented a child seeing troubling images; and the Black Museum anthology, which is called to mind by the new trailer.
