The summer of 2022 had some great science fiction films like Nope and Prey. With sci-fi having a strong year, it is fun to look ahead to a new season of one of the biggest sci-fi series of recent years . Black Mirror season 6 is on the way soon, but there has been no announced release date. The cast, however, has been revealed.

All of these future cast members of Black Mirror were revealed to the public by Variety in July 2022. The cast features very popular actors and some up-and-coming ones as well. This season should be a treat for any sci-fi fan to watch.

Zazie Beetz

Zazie Beetz is confirmed to appear in an episode of season 6. She has been very busy the last few years as she is one of the most sought-after actresses recently. She has been in Atlanta, Deadpool 2, and Bullet Train.

She has not ventured into anything like Black Mirror before. Her role in the 2019 Joker film most likely has the similar dark and gritty vibes that Black Mirror likes to give its viewers.

Paapa Essiedu

Paapa Essiedu is the next actor confirmed to be in season 6 of Black Mirror. He has been in projects like I May Destroy You, The Lazarus Project, and Anne Boleyn. All of these roles are very different from what is usually in Black Mirror.

However, he had a small role as James in Alex Garland's 2022 horror film Men. Even though it was only a small part that appeared in flashbacks, Essiedu has experience in giving the viewer chills.

Josh Hartnett

A big name confirmed for season 6 of Black Mirror is Josh Hartnett. Hartnett has a lot of experience in war films. His credits include Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down. His most exciting upcoming project is Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer.

The most similar thing Hartnett has done to Black Mirror is his role in the Halloween franchise's 20 years later film. He has lots of credits to his name, so this should get him more mainstream praise.

Aaron Paul

Arguably the most famous actor that has been confirmed for season 6 of Black Mirror is Aaron Paul. Paul's most famous role was in Breaking Bad as he played Jesse Pinkman.

This series ended in 2013 with one of the best finales of all time. He also has been in Bojack Horseman and West World. Paul would fit right into Black Mirror as he naturally has the tough and gritty vibe the series likes to convey.

Kate Mara

Kate Mara

Kate Mara, known for big roles on both the large and small screen, is confirmed to appear in season 6 of Black Mirror. She has been in Netflix's House of Cards, which was one of their first original series that gained a lot of attention, similarly to Black Mirror.

She also had a lead role in Hulu's The Teacher. She was in a science fiction film when she played an astronaut in The Martian, which is one of Ridley Scott's most rewatchable films. This experience in sci-fi should help her out in Black Mirror.

Danny Ramirez

Top Gun Maverick Fanboy Danny Ramirez

The next actor confirmed to be in Black Mirror season 6 is Danny Ramirez. His most recent and popular part was in Top Gun: Maverick.

He was also introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as he was in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which is a Marvel show that does not necessarily need a second season. He has experience in other low-level thriller films, so Black Mirror is an opportunity for him to put all of his skills on display for a larger audience.

Clara Rugaard

Clara Rugaard is guaranteed to be in the next Black Mirror season. Rugaard has experience in science fiction as she was one of the stars in Netflix's sci-fi thriller I Am Mother.

She also had a leading role in The Rising, which was a supernatural sci-fi series. All of her experience in science fiction will make her episode in Black Mirror one of the best in the season. She also had a small part in Moana, which is an extremely rewatchable musical.

Auden Thornton

Auden Thornton is going to be in season 6 of Black Mirror. Her most popular role was in This Is Us. She appeared in six episodes of the hit television drama. She has appeared in lots of short films and one-episode roles in shows like Blue Bloods and Elementary.
