'Black Mirror' Season 4 Air Date Set For September? New Charlie Brooker Tales Could Tackle Space Travel, Artificial Intelligence

It looks like "Black Mirror" Season 4 could go a little further than its predecessors. There are speculations that one of the six new episodes of the Netflix series will tackle space travel. Some also believe that Charlie Brooker may have written an interesting story dealing with artificial intelligence and allowed Jodie Foster to direct the tale.

CeleBeat has previously reported on the titles of the six episodes of "Black Mirror" Season 4 as well as their corresponding directors. Only the finale had no listed director, but fans believe that "Black Museum" could be based on the dark tale pitched by Penn Gillette to Charlie Brooker. This particular episode is expected to deal with a man addicted to feeling other people's pain, but what about the other five? There are speculations that "USS Callister" will have a space theme.

Fans have several theories about the upcoming episodes of "Black Mirror" Season 4, one of which is expected to deal with space travel. The very short but darkly terrifying description for "USS Callister" certainly confirms that Charlie Brooker has taken the Netflix series into deep space (via Production Beast). But is it possible that the fourth season will open with the Jodie Foster-directed tale about artificial intelligence?

Not much is known about "ArkAngel" other than the episode being directed by Jodie Foster and starring Rosemarie DeWitt. There are speculations that the "Black Mirror" Season 4 opener could deal with artificial intelligence, similar to Series 2's "Be Right Back" featuring Domhnall Gleeson and Hayley Atwell. Charlie Brooker has yet to confirm details about the episode but there is little doubt that the fourth season will leave the audience in shock.

So when exactly is the "Black Mirror" Season 4 air date? The series is expected to return to Netflix by September this year. Stay tuned to CeleBeat for more updates on your favorite TV shows.
