Earlier today, at the Edinburgh International TV Festival, Netflix announced the episodic titles, cast and directors of Black Mirror's much-anticipated fourth season, launching later this year. A short teaser of all the titles was also sent out, which you may watch below.
Jodie Foster continues to expand her list of directorial projects and joins a list of directors who have worked on some excellent television series; Dr Who, Sherlock, Hannibal, Game of Thrones, American Gods and Peaky Blinders.
Creator Charlie Brooker still remains very much in control, writing all the episodes thus maintaining his dark vision for the series.
