Black Mirror Season 3 Officially Ordered By Netflix, Teaser Released

After a long period of rumors and speculation, Netflix has officially picked up the United Kingdom's cult sci-fi anthology series for Season 3.

Netflix has ordered 12 new episodes of the series, with original series executive producers Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones on board for the run.

A short teaser was released to coincide with the announcement. Check it out below.

Brooker has already begun writing the new season, which is expected to being production later this year.

"It's all very exciting -- a whole new bunch of Black Mirror episodes on the most fitting platform imaginable. Netflix connects us with a global audience so that we can create bigger, stranger, more international and diverse stories than before, whilst maintaining that 'Black Mirror' feel. I just hope none of these new story ideas come true," said Brooker in a press release.

"Charlie has created a one-of-a-kind series with an uncanny voice and prescient, darkly comedic vision. We're tremendously proud to bring Black Mirror to our members as a Netflix original series," said Cindy Holland, Vice President, original content, Netflix.

Created and written by Brooker, Black Mirror taps into our collective unease with the modern world and each stand-alone episode is a sharp, suspenseful tale exploring themes of contemporary techno-paranoia. Without questioning it, technology has transformed all aspects of our lives; in every home; on every desk; in every palm - a plasma screen; a monitor; a Smartphone, a Black Mirror reflecting our 21st Century existence back at us.

Premiere date and rollout plans will be announced at a later date.
