All the Details We Have About Black Mirror Season 5, Including That Miley Cyrus Episode

It's been a while since the show confirmed another season. In March 2018, one cryptic tweet promised new episodes. The accompanying caption assured us that "the future will be brighter than ever." Could this be a clue about the direction of the series? Will we see more uplifting stories involving heroes who triumph over our bleak technological dystopia? It's not impossible!

Here's a fun one: back in April 2018, a fan shared an image of a filming notice. The show was set to take over St. George's Walk in Croydon, London. In threads, mentions, and retweets, other witnesses reported that the street had been blasted back to the '80s, which we now know was for the set of Black Mirror: Bandersnatch! Maybe other episodes will be set in different eras, as well?

At the beginning of October 2018, there were whispers of a "choose your own adventure" episode, in which viewers could interact with the content to achieve different outcomes. Hopefully, by now, you've had a chance to navigate through all of Stefan's possible outcomes, bleak as they may be. There's no telling if Bandersnatch will be lumped in with the rest of season five since it's technically a movie, or if the season will feature another interactive experience.

As of now, the season is set for a 2019 arrival, but there's no confirmed launch date or episode count. However, we already know there's much to look forward to — including an episode starring Miley Cyrus!

Speaking of the Miley Cyrus episode, the singer-actress let a few details about what she's been up to on the bleak sci-fi series slip when she appeared on Howard Stern's radio show in December.

"I'm really actually excited for everyone to watch the 'head shaking project' we said yes to [before]," she said, cryptically referring to Charlie Brooker's series. "The minute I say I never want to do something again, all of a sudden, there I am." She went on to note that this is one of the first acting projects she's been proud of in quite some time, though that is exactly why she's nervous for people to see it. "I hate everything, but it was the first time I've left somewhere feeling really proud of my work," she said. "But you know if I like it that might mean it's horrible."

Any explicit details about who the "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" singer will be playing are still very much under wraps, but she revealed that the role is "dynamic" and she's able to show "a lot of different sides" of her character:
