May 21, 2019 Black Mirror By Christopher Roberts

Black Mirror, Netflix’s acclaimed science fiction anthology series created by Charlie Brooker, is returning on June 5 for its fifth season. Its second episode, “Rachel, Jack And Ashley, Too,” stars Miley Cyrus and now a trailer for the episode, which also stars Angourie Rice (The Nice Guys, Spider-Man: Homecoming), has been shared. In it Cyrus plays a pop star/celebrity whose likeness/voice is used for a personal assistant robot (a more advanced Google Home/Siri/Amazon Echo). Netflix Describes the episode as such: “A lonely teenager yearns to connect with her favorite pop star - whose charmed existence isn’t quite as rosy it appears.” Watch the trailer below. Also below are trailers for the season’s other two episodes.

Previously the first trailer for the season was shared. The new season also stars Anthony Mackie, Pom Klementieff, Topher Grace, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Damson Idris, Andrew Scott, Nicole Beharie, Madison Davenport, Ludi Lin, and others.

The season only consists of three episodes (the same as the first two seasons, although the last two had six episodes each) and follows last December’s Bandersnatch interactive film special. As usual, the show seems to tackle our obsession with technology, including Siri and video games. At some point during the first trailer the words “love,” “privacy,” “sex,” “work,” and “afterlife” flash up on the screen.
