With an anime adaptation planned for Spring 2026 by Bug Films, it looks like this already award-winning story is about to reach an even wider audience worldwide.

After the success of Charlie Brooker’s dark comedy series Dead Set, Channel 4 commissioned Black Mirror, which shared a similar bleak humor and tendency towards unhappy endings.
