The acclaimed duo who brought the Netflix anthology series Black Mirror to life, Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones, have departed from their production company, Broke & Bones, leaving the show’s future in jeopardy.

Reported by Deadline, this shift comes amid uncertainties surrounding the next steps for the beloved series. Since its debut on UK’s Channel 4 in 2011 and subsequent acquisition by Netflix in 2015, Black Mirror has consistently captivated audiences with its thought-provoking narratives.

Brooker and Jones created the series, which was initially meant to conclude after its seventh season. However, the unexpected nature of their departure raises questions about the continuation of Black Mirror. Netflix previously invested heavily in the duo, locking them into an exclusive five-year contract but it seems this partnership has now reached its conclusion.

As the landscape of Black Mirror shifts, audiences and fans hope to see Brooker and Jones continue their creative endeavors outside of Netflix, possibly leading to new projects that resonate similarly with their previous works.
