Netflix has announced the title of Charlie Brooker’s latest series, calling it Blackmere. The new show is separate from Brooker’s well‑known anthology, Black Mirror, and the streaming service released a set of first‑look images to mark the reveal.
Alongside the title, Netflix confirmed that actor Rory Kinnear – best known for his work in The Diplomat and as a former Black Mirror cast member – will appear in the new series. Kinnear’s involvement adds a high‑profile name to the project’s growing list of talent.
The announcement was made during Netflix’s U.K. upfronts, a series of presentations aimed at advertisers and partners. The event showcased the initial visual material for Blackmere, giving audiences a glimpse of the show’s aesthetic and tone.
Brooker, a writer and producer celebrated for his sharp social commentary, has previously created and written for Black Mirror. The new series marks his return to the platform with a fresh concept that, while sharing a similar name, is distinct from the earlier anthology.
Details about Blackmere’s plot, cast beyond Kinnear, and release date remain undisclosed. Netflix’s release of the title and images is the first concrete information the streaming giant has provided about the upcoming series.
