Charlie Brooker’s acclaimed anthology series returns with new storylines, directors, and casts. New details for all six episodes have now been disclosed.

The shortest episode this season runs for 45 minutes, while the longest finishes at 1 hour and 28 minutes.

Episode 1 is titled Common People. The synopsis reads: "When a medical emergency leaves schoolteacher Amanda fighting for her life, her desperate husband Mike signs her up for Rivermind, a high-tech system that will keep her alive – but at a cost…."
Directed by Ally Pankiw, the episode stars Rashida Jones (Amanda), Chris O’Dowd (Mike), and Tracee Ellis Ross (Gaynor).

The logline reads: "Confectionary whizz kid Maria is unnerved when her former schoolmate Verity joins the company she works at — because there’s something altogether odd about Verity, something only Maria seems to notice."

Episode 3, titled Hotel Reverie, is directed by Haolu Wang and stars Issa Rae (Brandy), Emma Corrin (Dorothy), Awkwafina (Kimmy), and Harriet Walter (Judith Keyworth).
The logline reads: "A high-tech, unusually immersive remake of a vintage British film sends Hollywood A-list star Brandy Friday into another dimension, where she must stick to the script if she ever wants to make it home."
