Netflix has nabbed another big name for its sixth season of Black Mirror. Deadline reports that Rory Culkin is set to join the impressive cast of the forthcoming season. News of his casting comes about a month after it was revealed Zazie Beetz, Paapa Essiedu, Josh Hartnett, Aaron Paul, Kate Mara, Danny Ramirez, Clara Rugaard, Auden Thornton and Anjana Vasan have all joined Season 6 of Black Mirror. As with the others, little is known regarding the actor’s role in the anthology series.
Culkin is coming off of FX’s Under the Banner of Heaven where he starred alongside Andrew Garfield. He recently starred in 50 States of Freight, Castle Rock and Waco. He has also previously starred in Signs and Scream 4. The actor also previously led the podcast, Outliers, which followed a young, unnamed boy who believes he and his father are the last remaining humans in a world ravaged by mysterious creatures until that belief is shattered by the truth.
The sixth season of Black Mirror is the first season to be produced through writer Charlie Brooker‘s Netflix-backed banner, Broke & Bones, which he runs along with Annabel Jones. Production on Season 6 of Black Mirror is currently underway with no release date yet announced. It is expected this season will follow the same pattern as Season 5, with limited episodes that are closer to feature film length.
