Season three of Black Mirror is on the way to Netflix in October, and the streaming service have just released the first look photos, featuring Bryce Dallas Howard, Mackenzie Davis and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
The dystopian drama directed, created and written by Charlie Brooker takes a rather eerie look at what technology could bring to our future, with each episode a stand-alone story looking at themes of contemporary techno-paranoia. The first season aired in 2011, the second was in 2013, however other than a Christmas Special, there has been nothing since.
