(CNN) — “Black Mirror,” the satirical and horror-laden anthology series created by Charlie Brooker, officially returns to Netflix in June after a three-year hiatus.
This Wednesday, the streaming platform released the first chilling trailer that features a variety of stories beginning to unfold, with a cast that includes Salma Hayek, Aaron Paul, Annie Murphy, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, Michael Cera and Rory Culkin, among others.
The announcement presents season 6 as “the most unpredictable, unclassifiable and unexpected yet” of the series.

During a Netflix Tudum event, Brooker elaborated on the concept for the season, saying that while he always believed that “Black Mirror” should feature “totally different stories from each other” and that it should be a series “that cannot be easily defined,” it took some creative decisions for the next few episodes that are different than what we’ve seen so far.
“Partly as a challenge, and partly to keep things fresh for both myself and the viewer, I began this season by deliberately changing some of my own assumptions about what to expect,” Brooker said. “All the stories remain tonally ‘Black Mirror’ through and through, but with some crazy twists and more variety than ever before,” she added.

The series has won six Emmy Awards and first premiered on Channel 4 in the UK in 2011.
