Banijay Rights, the global distribution arm of Banijay Entertainment, and the U.K.-based Twisted Comics have announced a brand-new comic book series inspired by the hit dystopian anthology TV series Black Mirror.

Per the partnership agreement with Banijay Rights, Twisted Comics will produce the comic book series comprising iconic Black Mirror storylines, with copies set to arrive in mid-2025. Banijay will provide more information and previews in early 2025, with fans now able to register on the Black Mirror comic website to stay updated. Director of Licensing & Merchandising for Banijay Rights David Christopher is excited about the upcoming Black Mirror comic book adaptation. “Black Mirror needs no introduction as one of television’s uniquely engrossing brands,” he said. “The show’s unpredictable and unexpected episodes will be a perfect fit for this visionary comic book series, which we’re in no doubt will appeal to a whole new dimension of fans.”

Founder and CEO of Twisted Comics Neil Gibson is happy to bring the iconic Black Mirror TV series to the comic medium. “It has long been a dream of mine to extend Black Mirror, one of my ‘hero brands’ into comic book form,” he said. “Now that dream is a reality, and I believe fans of the show will love what we are planning. Watch this space.” Co-owner and Director of Twisted Comics Kenny Diack added, “This unique partnership with Banijay Rights reflects Twisted Comics’ ambitions to be the go-to partner for creating and expanding IP and further builds on our work to date.”

Created by Charlie Brooker and inspired by The Twilight Zone, the British Anthology series Black Mirror explores various genres, with most episodes set in near-future dystopias containing sci-fi technology, a type of speculative fiction. The anthology series often focuses on the fear of future technology and the potentially negative effects it may have on society. Black Mirror first aired on the British network Channel 4 in 2011 and has spawned six seasons, in addition to the 2018 interactive film Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. Black Mirror is regarded by many as one of the best television series of the 2010s.

Black Mirror Season 7 is currently in the works and will also arrive in 2025. The upcoming season’s ensemble cast includes MCU stars Awkwafina (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Emma Corrin (Deadpool & Wolverine), and Nicholas Cirillo (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law). Others are Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers), Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation), Issa Rae (Barbie), and Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish).
