Here is everything we know so far about the Black Mirror movie coming to Netflix

It looks like Black Mirror’s first movie is set to be released later this month – yes, you read that right.

The technology anthology series was renewed for a fifth season earlier this year, with production beginning soon after. Since then, though, there has been no word on a  release date.

However, last month, reports surfaced of something called Black Mirror: Bandersnatch being added to Netflix this month.

Whether Bandersnatch was the title of an episode (the choose your own adventure one, maybe?) or some kind of theme of the series (à la American Horror Story) was not clear at the time.

It now looks like it the mystery has been solved.

Well, kind of.

It turns out that if you search for Bandersnatch on Netflix, it brings up a title card for the Black Mirror movie. 

Yes, you read that right.

It looks like Bandersnatch is not the name of a TV episode, but rather a full-fledged Netflix movie – and, as would be expected,d the details are pretty scarce.

The title card simple has the description ‘Be right back’, and there are no official cast descriptions or run-time for the movie.

Nothing has been officially confirmed by Netflix (yet), but it looks like it may be landing later this month.

The news comes as it was recently revealed that Miley Cyrus was set to join the series for the upcoming fifth season.

Her sister, Brandi, revealed on her podcast that she had stayed with Miley while she was in Cape Town filming for the show.

Miley was also spotted by fans in and around Cape Town, posing for pictures the star looked happy to meet fans on her breaks from set.
