In a world increasingly difficult to satirize, Charlie Brooker continues to hold up the darkest—and most dazzling—mirror to society. In this exclusive interview with Awards Buzz, Brooker joins Sari Cohen for a deep, candid conversation that spans the terrifyingly prophetic tech of Black Mirror, the unsettling relatability of its characters, and what happens when satire becomes reality.
With new episodes like “Common People,” “Eulogy,” and “USS Callister: Into Infinity,” Brooker doesn’t just return to his anthology’s roots—he expands its universe with biting social commentary, emotional nuance, and the kind of humor that makes you laugh just before the existential dread sets in.
Brooker opens up about the inspiration, anxiety, and accidental prophecy that fuel his writing. He also shares behind-the-scenes insights on casting choices (Paul Giamatti), fan reactions, and what could possibly be next.
This interview peels back the layers of the Black Mirror universe—and the man behind it—with wit, honesty, and a touch of terrifying clarity.
