After 18 years at BAFTA, Krishnendu Majumdar is having trouble switching off.
It’s been almost two months since the media executive, who recently won a BAFTA for producing the Kate Winslet-led Channel 4 drama “I Am Ruth,” finished his three-year term as chair of the British Academy, handing over the reins to agency boss Sara Putt. But it took a minute, he says, to stop going on high alert every time he clocked a buzzy topic that BAFTA might be asked to comment on.
“You see something online and you think, ‘Oh I wonder how we should respond?’” says Majumdar, known to most in the industry as simply ‘Krish.’ “And then it’s like, ‘No, no. I don’t do that’ … I’m just a member. I’m not on any committees. I’m not a trustee. I don’t speak on their behalf anymore.”

Fan of hunting for “Black Mirror” Easter Eggs? Well, the series has a treat for you — Season 6 debuts with the series’ most meta episode yet. The first episode of the long-awaited sixth season, “Joan Is Awful” follows Joan; a woman who finds that her life is being turned into a prestige streaming series starring Salma Hayek, a discovery that sends her jobs and relationships into freefall after all of her secrets suddenly become public knowledge.
Annie Murphy plays Joan. Salma Hayek also plays Joan… and Salma Hayek. Rob Delaney plays Mac. Ben Barnes also plays Mac. Which is to say, there’s a lot to unpack and a heck of a cast to keep track of while you’re at it. There’s even a fake streaming service full of “Black Mirror” references and callbacks.
We’ve got you covered with a handy guide to who plays whom.

After four years, “Black Mirror” is back for Season 6 and considering it’s the premiere destination for storytelling that comes swinging at big tech, it was only a matter of time before it took aim at the streaming industry. Season 6 comes out of the gate hitting directly at Netflix — the streamer in which it airs — with the arrival of the Streamberry app in the hyper-meta episode “Joan Is Awful.” And hoo boy, does Streamberry shake up the current understanding of the “Black Mirror” universe.
Not least of all because the Streamberry homepage is jam-packed with familiar titles that reference episodes from every season of “Black Mirror.” Some of the shots go by in a hurry, and not everyone has time to pause (over and over again) to obsess over the details, so we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to all the Easter Eggs, callbacks and references you’ll find in the Streamberry lineup.

Most people indeed dream about having their “main character” moment, but they don’t hope to see their lives play out like a drama for the whole world to see and judge them by. Black Mirror Season 6 starts with a bang that is on point with its self-aware humor. As always, the episode is mind-blowing in many ways, and the absurdity of it all somehow makes it extremely real. The show, as we know, picks on some very primal fears we have, specifically of technology and any kind of advancement in the world of the internet. Let’s dive straight into the first episode, Joan Is Awful.
Spoilers Ahead
What Happens In Episode 1?

This article contains spoilers for all Black Mirror season 6 castings but does not reveal episode endings or other big twists.
Four years and a global pandemic later, and the sci-fi anthology Black Mirror is finally returning to Netflix. According to Netflix, season 6 is set to be the “most unpredictable, unclassifiable and unexpected yet” of the series. As Black Mirror has taken off in popularity, the show has become almost as well-known for its A-list cast as it has for its satirical takes on our world. With stars like Miley Cyrus, Jesse Plemons, Daniel Kaluuya, Bryce Dallas Howard, and so many more appearing in the series over the years, its no surprise that season 6 is just as stacked as the rest.
While there’s still a lot we don’t know about some of the characters featured in this season’s five episodes, here’s what we’ve uncovered so far...
