I'm sure by now you are well aware that Black Mirror is returning to Netflix for a fourth season. I bloody loved the third series, especially the 'San Junipero' episode. It's rare to see any Black Mirror episodes with a happy ending but that one seriously tugged at my heart strings.
Fans loved it so much that they were left wondering if writer Charlie Brooker would be writing a sequel for it. Here's what Charlie had to say:
There were aspects of the story that I took out. For instance, I’d originally written a scene where Kelly is in a kindergarten and there are children there and when you realise what’s going on – it’s that these are deceased children.
It was too sad and too poignant of a note to hit in that story, but I kept thinking about how that felt like a whole world in and of itself. I think we almost might do it in a completely different form if we were doing a straight sequel, if that makes sense. Maybe not even as a normal episode.
We do like to drop Easter eggs every so often in other episodes, so we may be referring to San Junipero again. It’s difficult because I don’t think we’d revisit those characters. That felt like such a story and we wouldn’t want to open it up again.
So there you have it, folks - straight from the horses mouth. You might not get to see Kelly and Yorkie again but we may well get to revist San Junipero again. Here's hoping.
