The Red Mirror label presents 'Black Mirror' with a unique opportunity to expand the series beyond its roots.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Black Mirror Season 6.Season 6 of Charlie Brooker’s critically-acclaimed Netflix anthology show Black Mirror has finally landed on the streaming platform. Sinister streaming, alternate history epics, and twisted true crime dominated the batch of new episodes, not to mention easter eggs and references to previous seasons.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Speaking to The Radio Times, Brooker described "Demon 79" as "different-yet-adjacent-to-the-Black Mirror universe" and wants to explore horror-themed options under that label.
Gaap takes the guise of Boney M's Bobby Farrell before telling Nida he's a demon on probation and has been assigned the task of corrupting Nida by convincing her to murder three people. She realizes the only way to survive and avert a nuclear apocalypse is to do what Gaap wants. Reluctant at first to take a human life, Gaap gradually eases Nida into homicide by pointing out how maybe some of her victims deserve it.
What Could Red Mirror Achieve for the Future of 'Black Mirror'? Past shows like The Twilight Zone, Tales from the Crypt, and The Outer Limits have all blended multiple genres, telling cross-genre stories to keep things refreshingly terrifying and not grow stale or unimaginative. If Brooker is proposing a spin-off anthology that connects to but is markedly different from Black Mirror, there is no reason it couldn't be as successful.
Brooker has admitted he wants to move away from what has become familiar to viewers, and if the primary show is capable of getting under our skin, imagine Brooker going full-on horror anthology. Some of the series' darker episodes hint at the direction a Red Mirror spinoff might take. But most importantly, Black Mirror has always done things a bit differently and has never been afraid to take creative risks along the way.
