Yesterday, we talked about the long-anticipated Black Mirror season 6, with the new trailer giving a peek into many of the new episodes, the focus being ‘Joan is Awful’. The meta episode looks like a Netflix-style show that shows a woman’s real-life events on a daily basis. Annie Murphy, from Schitt’s Creek stars in the episode, along with Salma Hayek, who plays herself.
There seems to be plenty more where that came from, with the season consisting of five episodes written by award-winning showrunner Charlie Brooker. Below are the Black Mirror season 6 episode descriptions, according to Netflix.
Joan is Awful
