Charlie Brooker has 'spoken to writers' about more Black Mirror - Metro

The mini-series, which focused on a dystopian Britain enslaved by reality shows, social media and brain implants, was a big hit with viewers but Brooker has remained tight-lipped over whether there will be a second series.

Speaking at this week's Arqiva British Academy Television Awards, he said: 'The idea always has been that we'll make it a playhouse, almost. There's lots of writers we've spoken to... not that we're doing any more!'

The journalist and screenwriter prefers to keep his projects short and sweet, having previously only made one series of subculture satirising comedy Nathan Barley.

Brooker said he was pleased with the reaction to Black Mirror from viewers but felt snubbed by its omission from the TV Bafta list of nominations.

'I was very pleased [with the reaction] - pity BAFTA didn't seem to enjoy it!' he told Digital Spy. 'Of course, I'm going to feel like it was snubbed, cos I did it. [But] it was a strong flavoured show... and I know it's not going to be to everyone's taste.'

Charlie couldn't confirm what projects he is working on in the coming year but said there was definitely more creative output in the pipeline.

He added: 'I don't know if I've got anything I can talk about, but I'm writing a lot of scripts. I don't think I'm allowed to say what anything is yet, but there's lots of things still to come.'
