If you're ready to have all the darkest and most eerie parts of life shoved in your face, then I have good news - Black Mirror is coming back.

Netflix shared the news of the show's highly-anticipated return in a post on Twitter, which included a video teasing its comeback.

The video features a page filled with code, reading: "Black Mirror. An error has occurred..."

The screen then shows a reboot bar, before revealing a long string of names. Check it out below:

The new series is set to be made up of six episodes, with directors including the likes of Black Mirror alum Toby Haynes and David Slade, as well as director Haolu Wang, who's best known for Netflix’s Bodies.

When it comes to the cast, a release from Netflix revealed a whole string of big stars who are set to make an appearance in at least one episode of the new season.

They include Awkwafina, Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi, Deadpool and Wolverine actor Emma Corrin, Parks and Recreation's Rashida Jones, and Bridesmaids actor Chris O’Dowd.

There are also a number of Black Mirror stars who are expected to return for the sequel to the season four episode USS Callister, including Milanka Brooks, Billy Magnussen, Paul G. Raymond, Cristin Milioti, Osy Ikhile and Jimmi Simpson.

News of the new season has delighted fans, with the post having received hundreds of likes in a matter of minutes.

Series creator Charlie Brooker has previously spoken about the thematic elements fans of the series might be able to expect in the upcoming season, admitting to Deadline that creators planned to do 'some things [they've] not done before'.

He continued: "People can expect quite a lot of emotion and, hopefully, a good mix of chills. We did a couple of horror stories in Season 6, which we label as Red Mirror. But this time around, the episodes are all, in a way, like OG Black Mirror.

"I wrote one script, and the general consensus was that it was one of the bleakest, heaviest gut punches yet. There’s also techy episodes and ones that are making people cry. So, hopefully, it’s a full emotional workout, but we shall see. The viewers will be the judge."

The good news is that viewers won't have long to wait to start judging, either, as Netflix revealed alongside the announcement video that Black Mirror would be back in 2025.
