Game of Thrones and Bank of Dave Favourites Star in First Look for Black Mirror Creator Charlie Brooker's Comedic New Crime Thriller
The four-part series stars Paddy Considine as a detective tracking a ritualistic serial killer, with first-look images and an early 2027 release.
- On Thursday, Netflix unveiled first-look images and the title for Charlie Brooker's new series, Blackmere, at a London upfronts event, adding actor Rory Kinnear to a cast including Paddy Considine, Georgina Campbell, and Lena Headey.
- Brooker describes the four-part series as an "absurd comedy disguised as an incredibly serious crime thriller," following tormented Detective John Blackmere, played by Considine, as he moves from Bleakford to London to avenge his partner's death.
- First-Look images reveal a gritty visual style, featuring shops with names like "Rancid Goods" and "Used Vapes and Nappies," while series director Al Campbell leads production alongside executive producers Jessica Rhoades and Annabel Jones.
- Expected to debut early 2027, Blackmere is distinct from Brooker's highly successful Black Mirror, which returns for an eighth season, and follows the November 5 premiere of Black Doves Season 2.
- Kinnear's casting marks a reunion with creator Brooker, as the actor famously starred in the iconic first episode of Black Mirror, positioning him within the creator's expanding library of original content for Netflix.
