Black Mirror has become a massive hit ever since it first came out in 2011 and entered Netflix in 2016. Spanning 6 seasons, a special, and an interactive film, the show told a series of science fiction stories that relate to technology. Soon, you can relive these tales as a comic book series based on the show’s iconic storylines that will be coming out sometime next year.
Deadline reported that Black Mirror‘s global distribution arm, Banijay Rights, struck a deal with UK’s Twisted Comics to produce comic books that are scheduled to come out in mid-2025. While it has yet to be revealed which episodes will receive the comic book treatment, pre-released material will be available on Twisted Comics‘ website at a later date. Twisted Comics‘ CEO and Founder, Neil Gibson, commented about the latest partnership, expressing excitement about this latest project.
“It has long been a dream of mine to extend Black Mirror – one of my ‘hero brands’ – into comic book form. Now that dream is a reality, and I believe fans of the show will love what we are planning. Watch this space.”
Twisted Comics is known for its Twisted Dark series, which features eight volumes. It has also worked on the comic book adaptation of Stan Lee‘s Lucky Man, a superhero crime drama which spanned for 3 seasons since its release in 2016.
