Black Mirror is a British anthology television series created by Charlie Brooker. Individual episodes explore a diversity of genres, but most are set in near-future dystopias utilising a science fiction technology. The first two series aired on the British network Channel 4 in 2011 and 2013, as did the 2014 special "White Christmas". The programme then moved to Netflix, where five further series aired in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2023, and 2025. A video game acting as a tie-in to Plaything called Black Mirror: Thronglets was released in 2025.
Featuring stand-alone dramas -- sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales that explore techno-paranoia -- "Black Mirror" is a contemporary reworking of "The Twilight Zone" with stories that tap into the collective unease about the modern world.

Notes[]
- In “Playtest” a simulated spider and women were killed, and it was mentioned that 5 civilians died, these events however were not real.
- In “San Junipero” 85% of the characters seen in San Junipero are dead, with a large proportion of deceased people having their consciences uploaded into an alternative reality.
- In "Joan Is Awful" the population of Earth in 2023 was used for the destruction of the universes.
- In "Loch Henry" it is mentioned that Princess Diana died, this will not be counted as this is not a fictional portrayal of her.
