Huge _Black Mirror_ season 4 news: The first trailer is here, looking all urgent and sleek. There are cryptic episode titles. There’s the full cast list (with plenty of surprising names). Six new mind-bending episodes are coming to Netflix later this year (no exact date yet) from showrunner Charlie Brooker.

Here are the episode breakdowns. You’ll notice there are no descriptions, not yet, as Brooker likes to keep his storylines as secret as possible:

**“Arkangel”**  
_Cast:_ Rosemarie Dewitt (_La La Land_), Brenna Harding (_A Place to Call Home)_, Owen Teague (_Bloodline_)  
_Director:_ Jodie Foster (yup, that Jodie Foster)  
_Written by:_ Charlie Brooker

**“USS Callister”**  
_Cast:_ Jesse Plemons (_Fargo_), Cristin Milioti (_The Wolf of Wall Street_), Jimmi Simpson (_Westworld_), Michaela Coel (_Chewing Gum_)  
_Director:_ Toby Haynes (_Sherlock_)  
_Written By_: Charlie Brooker & William Bridges

**“Crocodile”**  
_Cast:_ Andrea Riseborough (_Birdman_, _Bloodline_), Andrew Gower (_Outlander_), Kiran Sonia Sawar (_Murdered By My Father_)  
_Director:_ John Hillcoat (_Triple Nine_, _Lawless_)  
_Written By:_ Charlie Brooker

**“Hang the DJ”**  
_Cast:_ Georgina Campbell (_Flowers_), Joe Cole (_Peaky Blinders_), George Blagden (_Versailles_)  
_Director:_ Tim Van Patten (_The Sopranos_)  
_Written By:_ Charlie Brooker

**“Metalhead”**  
_Cast:_ Maxine Peake (_The Theory Of Everything_), Jake Davies (_The Missing_), Clint Dyer (_Hope Springs_)  
_Director:_ David Slade (_Hannibal_)  
_Written By:_ Charlie Brooker

**“Black Museum”**  
_Cast:_ Douglas Hodge (_The Night Manager_), Letitia Wright (_Humans_), Babs Olusanmokun (_Roots_)  
_Director:_ Colm McCarthy  
_Written By:_ Charlie Brooker

**Observations** (with the caveat that making _any_ assumptions about anything in _Black Mirror_ is foolhardy and likely wrong): The most visually striking entry has to be “USS Callister” which has a decidedly _Star Trek_\-spoof feel with Plemons in the captain’s chair (between CBS All Access’ _Star Trek: Discovery_ and Fox’s _The Orville_, the _Trek_\-ian space is rather busy this fall). “Hang the D.J.” appears to offer some new technology twist on dating. “Metalhead” has a shot suggesting a robot similar those creepy [Boston Dynamics deer-bots](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PaTWufUqqU) running amuck. Foster’s “Arkangel” seems to offer a tech spin on the problem child horror genre. And the others are even more uncertain. Here’s one thing for sure: We’re watching.
