If you are fans of Black Mirror, sharpen your ears: the new episodes have started filming.

Charlie Brooker, the creator of the series, told Radio Times:

"For the fifth season, we are shooting an episode at the moment. We're about to start filming another one. I'm writing the next one and then the situation becomes a bit 'more nebulous".

While rumors and images arrive on Twitter on the first confirmed location. This is Croydon, a town in the south of London, where the show's crew would be shooting an episode called Bandersnatch, the same name as a fantastic creature, with sharp teeth and claws, with white eyes and red pupils, created by Lewis Carroll is present in Through the Looking-Glass and in the poem The Hunting of the Snark.

The new story will be interwoven in the 80s. The confirmation of this return to the past are the shots of signs of stores known especially in those years, such as Wimpy, Woolworths, Blockbuster, WHSmith and Chelsea Girl.

Brooker brings us back to the atmospheres of the beloved San Junipero.

Will it succeed in overcoming its success?
