    11 Surprising "Black Mirror" Facts You (Probably) Never Knew

    MIND. BLOWN.

    1. 1. What does "Black Mirror" mean?

      In 2014, the show's creator, Charlie Brooker, explained that "Black Mirror" referred to the technology around us. "Any TV, any LCD, any iPhone, any iPad—something like that—if you just stare at it, it looks like a black mirror, and there’s something cold and horrifying about that, and it was such a fitting title for the show."

    2. 2. Do the "Black Mirror" episodes exist in the same universe?

      For years, fans of the show speculated about whether the show’s vastly different stories actually took place in the same universe. Well, now we have our answer. Charlie Brooker confirmed that the stories do likely take place in the same universe: “People used to say to me, ‘Are these all set in one shared universe?’ and I’d say ‘Absolutely not,’” he explained. “And now for the first time I think one of our stories starts referring to things that happened in other episodes.” Photo via Netflix

    3. 3. The Black Museum episode definitively confirms a shared "Black Mirror" universe.

      The Black Museum episode is overflowing with easter eggs from the other episodes. The bloody tablet, bloody bathtub, and leftover lollipop all allude to earlier episodes in the fourth series. There are even some hidden clues that reference episodes from prior seasons. Photo via Netflix

    4. 4. San Junipero is Black Mirror’s most critically acclaimed episode

      'San Junipero' is widely considered one of the most popular "Black Mirror" episodes. The episode won two BAFTA awards, an IGN and GLAAD award, as well as two Primetime Emmy Awards. Photo via Netflix

    5. 5. Where was 'San Junipero' filmed?

      Despite being described as a sunny, California locale, 'San Junipero' was actually shot in Cape Town, South Africa. Photo via Netflix/Getty

    6. 6. Charlie Chaplin’s granddaughter has been in "Black Mirror"

      Oona Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin’s granddaughter, appeared in the "White Christmas" episode alongside Jon Hamm. Now that is some cinematic cred! Eagle eyed fans will also know that Oona Chaplin appeared in episodes of "Game of Thrones" as well. Photo via Getty/PIERRE ANDRIEU

    7. 7. Where was Black Mirror’s 'Crocodile' episode filmed?

      If you thought 'Crocodile' looked a bit icy to be the UK or America, you’re 100% correct. The third episode of the fourth season was actually filmed in Iceland. Photo via Netflix

    8. 8. A Black Mirror book is on its way.

      A three volume book series edited by Charlie Brooker is on its way. In May 2018, the first volume in the series will officially hit book stores. The authors in the first volume include Cory Doctorow, Claire North, and Sylvain Neuvel. Photo via Getty Creative

    9. 9. Are any "Black Mirror" episodes being made into a movie?

      In 2013, Robert Downey Jr.’s production company optioned a film adaptation of “The Entire History Of You” (season 1 episode 3). The film was to be made as a Warner Bros collaboration. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much in the way of news regarding when or if this project is expected to go into production. Photo via Netflix

    10. 10. Charlie Brooker thinks binge watching "Black Mirror" is like getting hit by a car

      Even though "Black Mirror" is one of the most speedraced shows on Netflix, Charlie Brooker probably wouldn’t recommend binging the show. During a round table interview, Brooker said, "I don’t know that we’re much of a binge-watching show. It’s a bit like being hit by a car. How many times can you get hit by a car, in one day?"

    11. Black Mirror logo

      11. What font is the "Black Mirror" logo?

      We're sure all the font heads out there are dying to know the name of the font used in the "Black Mirror" logo. The font used for the "Black Mirror" logo is Proxima Novo Bold.
