Moving on to episode 2, Loch Henry, which is directed by Sam Miller and stars Samuel Blenkin, John Hannah, and Monica Dolan. This installment follows a documentary crew as they delve into a series of abductions in Scotland, but find themselves in over their heads.
Episode 3, titled Beyond The Sea, is directed by John Crowley and features Aaron Paul, Josh Hartnett, and Kate Mara. Paul and Hartnett portray disillusioned astronauts in what appears to be a continuation of season 4, episode 1. This marks a significant moment for Black Mirror, as it is the first direct follow-up in the series, as hinted in the trailer for season 6.
