Black Mirror creator Charles Brooker says season 8 of the dystopian sci-fi anthology show is already in the works, and "hopefully, it'll be more Black Mirror than ever."

"Well, luckily [Black Mirror] does have a future, so I can confirm that Black Mirror will return, just in time for reality to catch up with it. So, that's exciting. That chunk of my brain has already been activated and is whirring away," Brooker tells Tudum, Netflix's press site.

"It's a useful thought experiment when approaching a new story," Brooker says. "I'll often think of, 'Well, what haven't we done yet, and what tone am I looking for? … Where does this track come on the album, and what musical direction are we going to go into?' We'll find out. Very unlikely you'll ever see a Black Mirror hoedown."
