'Black Mirror' Season 5: Netflix Unveils Episode Titles, Trailers

Netflix and Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror is officially back for a fifth round beginning June 5th – and now the streaming service has revealed the titles for the season's episodes as well as releasing trailers for each. Teasing the season with the ominous line, "the future we should have seen coming," the upcoming season will stray from past season's structure: instead of six stand-alone episodes, this season will consist of only three.

"Striking Vipers" (Anthony Mackie, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Nicole Beharie, Pom Klementieff, and Ludi Lin): When two college friends reconnect after a number of years, a sequence of events unfold that could alter both of their lives… forever.

"Is there someplace else you'd rather be?"

Black Mirror season 5 teased the all-star line-up in the official trailer – all of whom can be seen in the trailer below. Under flashes of words "love," 'privacy," "connection," "sex," "family," "work," and "afterlife," the trailer highlights a season whose themes will include technology's (usually negative) impact on marriage, self-worth, mental health, and social media.

Three new stories about the future we should have seen coming. Black Mirror returns June 5th.
