Back in April, Netflix released the long-awaited trailer for the sixth season of Black Mirror. They also told us that the series would return in June, but not the date.
This week, we finally learned that the binging can start on June 15. We also got a trailer with a whole lot more footage along with official descriptions for each episode.
Maybe it’s because I only recently discovered how great Schitt’s Creek is, but “Joan is Awful” is my surprise pick for most anticipated episode — although they all look great, honestly. You’ve also got to appreciate Netflix’s ability to skewer itself. Considering that streamer pretty much survives on true crime these days, “Loch Henry” should also be a fun one to watch.
