Given, well, everything going on in the world right now, it probably shouldn't surprise anyone that creator Charlie Brooker is planning to take a break from his award-winning dystopian science fiction anthology Black Mirror for a bit.

After all, when the real world is as terrifying and depressing by turns as any of Black Mirror's stories, so it's not exactly the fluffy escapism that most of us probably need right now - or that anyone us particularly looking to watch.

The most recent season of Black Mirror premiered on Netflix last June, and the show tends to take a year to a year and a half in production between seasons. So, probably some fans may be wondering whether or not we're due for new episodes anytime soon. And sadly, the answer to that appears to be no. Season 6 of the popular series is definitely on hold for the time being.
