After a four-year-long wait, Black Mirror is finally coming back for its sixth season. Netflix gave us a taste of things to come by dropping a star-studded new teaser for the show’s next chapter and announced a June release date.

The new teaser doesn’t reveal much of a plot, but it gives us a first glimpse of the show’s A-list ensemble. The new season will star Aaron Paul, Annie Murphy, Ben Barnes, Himesh Patel, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, Michael Cera, Rob Delaney, Rory Culkin, Salma Hayek Pinault, and Zazie Beetz, among others.

The new teaser premiered ahead of a Netflix Showcase in London, and the show’s creator Charlie Brooker described Season 6 as “the most unpredictable, unclassifiable, and unexpected yet.”

“I’ve always felt that Black Mirror should feature stories that are entirely distinct from one another, and keep surprising people — and myself — or else what’s the point? It should be a series that can’t be easily defined, and can keep reinventing itself,” said Brooker in a statement.

Season 6 will premiere on Netflix this June, but the official release date is yet to be announced. Like the previous five seasons and the interactive film Bandersnatch, the show’s next chapter will explore the damaging impact of technology on modern society.
