If you were at all worried that the bleak, existential dread — OK, OK, and occasional hope [3] — that Black Mirror [4] fills you with each time you watch a new batch of episodes was over for good, don't be. Netflix confirmed on Monday that Charlie Brooker's critically acclaimed, mind-melting sci-fi anthology series [5] is officially returning for a fifth season. The exciting news was announced via Twitter [6] in a video that featured clips from previous seasons [7], along with the caption, "The future will be brighter than ever." A release date is still TBD, but never fear — that just means we have plenty of time to obsess over each and every wild fan theory [8] that came out of season four [9].
