Already renewed for Season 4, could Black Mirror expand with a spinoff series? Director Owen Harris ‘loves’ the idea of extending the franchise, but tells THR he’s not sure if it will ever happen:
I can guarantee in the next two or three years people will make their own versions of San Junipero and they’ll be on YouTube, they’ll be everywhere. But whether we make one, I don’t know. I would love to. If you think about it, once you buy into San Junipero it’s this big world and we got a little taste of it when she goes off into the Quagmire, where she tries to find Kelly and bumps into Wes, and that’s very dark place. That was a sort of splinter of Black Mirror. So there is always a dark side lurking. There’s probably lots of ground you could cover by that or a parallel San Junipero, wherever that might be.
Black Mirror Season 4 releases late 2017 on Netflix, with the anthology series already chasing a fifth season. Could a Black Mirror spinoff arrive before Season 5, if at all?
