Charlie Brooker's dystopian anthology series Black Mirror has been making us face the dark side of technology for 15 years now. In 2011, that meant live TV ransoms and capitalist reality shows. But last year, in Season 7, we saw memories brought to life, emotions run on subscription models, and the Hollywood remake machine going very literal. In the age of AI popping up everywhere, Black Mirror isn't going to stop reflecting real life any time soon - but what could possibly be next?

"Well, luckily it does have a future, so I can confirm that Black Mirror will return, just in time for reality to catch up with it," Brooker said.

"People are trapped in [dating apps] instead of going out there and actually contacting in real life, personal connections," Allen Wang, who co-founded Ditto, said.

Since its debut in 2011, Black Mirror serves as a commentary on 21st-century issues, illustrating how unchecked technological advancements lead towards a dangerous future.
