What’s a season of “Black Mirror” without the superstar cast?
Just yesterday it was revealed that Rory Culkin (Scream 4, Lords of Chaos, Signs) had joined the show’s sixth season.
Today, Variety reports that Salma Hayek Pinault (Everly, From Dusk Till Dawn) and Annie Murphy (“Schitt’s Creek, “Russian Doll”) are also in talks to star.
Variety previously revealed that the new season has also signed Zazie Beetz, Paapa Essiedu, Josh Hartnett, Aaron Paul, Kate Mara, Danny Ramirez, Clara Rugaard, Auden Thornton and Anjana Vasan.
Season 6 would have more episodes than Season 5, which comprised of just three installments and starred Andrew Scott, Anthony Mackie, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Topher Grace and Miley Cyrus, notes the site.
Created by Charlie Brooker, “Black Mirror” is an anthology series that taps into our collective unease with the modern world, with each stand-alone episode a sharp, suspenseful tale exploring themes of contemporary techno-paranoia leading to an unforgettable – and sometimes unsettling – conclusion. Without questioning it, technology has transformed all aspects of our lives; in every home; on every desk; in every palm – a plasma screen; a monitor; a Smartphone – a Black Mirror reflecting our 21st Century existence back at us.
