“Bete Noire” stars Siena Kelly as Maria, a woman who is disturbed upon seeing someone she went to high school with (Rosy McEwen) after several years.

“Eulogy” stars Paul Giamatti and Patsy Ferran while “Plaything features Peter Capaldi and Lewis Gribben.

Cristin Milioti and Jimmi Simpson appear in “USS Callister: Into Infinity,” which continues a storyline that began during Season 4.

“We’ve done a sequel for the first time in Black Mirror history,” said creator Charlie Brooker. “Normally, I kill off all the characters at the end of an episode, [but] I kept some of ’em alive. I’m growing as a human.”

The upcoming season will also feature Michele Austin, Ben Bailey Smith, Asim Chaudhry, Josh Finan, James Nelson-Joyce, Will Poulter, Jay Simpson, Michael Workeye, Milanka Brooks, Osy Ikhile, Billy Magnussen, Paul G. Raymond, and Harriet Walter.

“It’s back to basics in many ways,” Brooker said. “They’re all sci-fi stories — there’s definitely some horrifying things that occur, but maybe not in an overt horror-movie way. There’s definitely some disturbing content in it.”
