Netflix’s “Black Mirror” returns to the Emmy Awards after a four-year break with its sixth season that premiered back in June 2023. The trajectory of the Charlie Brooker anthology series at the Emmys has been a tumultuous journey, particularly in recent years. The science-fiction dystopia used to dominate the limited/movie genre, winning Best Television Movie for three consecutive years at its height, before the Television Academy ruled that it must compete for the drama categories for its fifth season in 2020, ending its streak. Then the following year, the top category for limited series was changed to Best Limited or Anthology Series, placing “Black Mirror” back into the genre, but in the more competitive limited series race rather than the standalone television movies.
Despite the many radical switches, the program has managed an impressive eight wins out of 14 nominations overall. With its new string of six anthology episodes that star various actors including Salma Hayek,...

Lime Pictures, the British production company behind Netflix’s teen drama Free Rein, is developing a Ya drama about a futuristic death row. The All3Media-owned indie has optioned Ben Oliver’s forthcoming book The Loop and will turn it into a returnable series.
The series follows Luka, who has been wrongfully imprisoned for 736 days inside The Loop, the futuristic equivalent of death row where young offenders await their execution. Inmates have the option of taking part in ‘delays’, medical and scientific experiments which push back the date of their execution. Luka’s day-to-day routine is mind-numbingly repetitive, but then things start to change: rumors of war are whispered in the courtyard and the government-issued rain stops falling. Soon, he realizes that breaking out of the Loop might be his only chance to save himself and everyone he loves.
The project will be developed by Louise Sutton, scripted content boss at the company,...

USS Callister on Saturday took home the Emmy for outstanding TV movie at the Creative Arts Emmys, marking the second consecutive win for an episode of Netflix's Black Mirror anthology series.
"It's surprising that we are in the fiction category because it's a story about a misogynistic bully ... who is in a position of authority that he shouldn't be in," quipped executive producer Charlie Brooker, who accepted the Emmy with fellow exec producers Annabell Hones and Louise Sutton.

One of my favorite Black Mirror episodes in Season four was the Star Trek-inspired episode "USS Callister". It was so good and it went into a crazy awesome direction that I didn't see coming at all! If you haven't seen it yet, I won't ruin it for you, but I will say that Jesse Plemons gives an incredible performance as a James T. Kirk-like character named Captain Daly, who fearlessly leads his crew on adventures to help protect the galaxy. If you haven't seen the episode yet, there's a huge surprising twist to this story that I think you'll love.
If you have seen the episode, you'll be happy to hear that there's potential for a spin-off series! While talking to THR in a recent interview, director Toby Haynes was asked about a possible sequel, and this was his reply:
