“You can expect a mix of genres and styles,” Brooker told Netflix during the streaming service’s Geeked Week. “We’ve got six episodes this time, and two of them are basically feature-length. Some of them are deeply unpleasant, some are quite funny, and some are emotional.

“It’s back to basics in many ways. They’re all sci-fi stories, but there’s definitely some horrifying things that occur, but maybe not in an overt horror-movie way. There’s definitely some disturbing content in it.”

Brooker also discussed the USS Callister sequel. “We’ve done a sequel for the first time in Black Mirror history,” he nodded. “Normally, I kill off all the characters at the end of an episode, and I kept some of ’em alive.

“I’m growing as a human.”
