Netflix’s sci-fi anthology series “Black Mirror” has tapped two actresses for lead roles, the streaming service announced Sunday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena, Calif.
British star Gugu Mbatha-Raw (“Beyond the Lights,” “Concussion”) and Canada’s Mackenzie Davis(“Halt and Catch Fire,” “The Martian”) will star in one of the episodes of the upcoming Netflix original series, to be directed by Owen Harris (“Kill Your Friends”).
The U.K. episodes were also executive produced by Brooker and Jones, with Brooker penning all previous installments.
“It’s all very exciting — a whole new bunch of ‘Black Mirror’ episodes on the most fitting platform imaginable,” said Brooker in a statement at the time of Netflix’s acquisition. “Netflix connects us with a global audience so that we can create bigger, stranger, more international and diverse stories than before, whilst maintaining that ‘Black Mirror’ feel. I just hope none of these new story ideas come true.”
Said Cindy Holland, Netflix’s VP of original content, “Charlie has created a one-of-a-kind series with an uncanny voice and prescient, darkly comedic vision.”
