About San Junipero in brief
“San Junipero” is the fourth episode of the third series of Black Mirror. Written by Charlie Brooker and directed by Owen Harris, it premiered on Netflix on 21 October 2016. The episode is set in a beach resort town where the elderly can inhabit a simulated reality. It received critical acclaim, with particular praise for Mbatha-Raw and Davis’ performances, its plot twist, its visual style, and its uplifting tone. It won two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Television Movie and Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series, Movie, or Dramatic Special. The soundtrack interweaves 1980s songs with an original score by Clint Mansell. It was the first episode written for series three of the British science fiction anthology television series, and the first to feature a heterosexual couple and an unhappy ending. It had higher critical ratings than the show’s other episodes, and some critics considered it one of the best television episodes of 2016. All six episodes in this series were simultaneously released on Netflix in October 2016, with the rest of series three. The show had a larger budget than its previous series and a larger order, which allowed the show to vary its genre and tone more than previous series. Alongside series three, “Nosedive” was first shown in 2016 ahead of its release at the Toronto International Film Festival at the end of the month. In March 2016, Netflix outbid Channel 4 for the right to distribute the series three in the UK, and in March 2016 a bid was made for the series to be shown on Channel 4 in the US.
Netflix commissioned the series for 12 episodes with a bid of USD 40 million, with series one and two of the series shown with abid of USD 4 million, in September 2015 and March 2016 respectively. The series will be shown in the U.S. in the summer of 2016, and on Channel Four in the autumn of 2016 and Channel 5 in the spring of 2017. The episodes will be released in UK cinemas on October 26 and October 27. The first episode of series four will be aired on October 27 and October 28, 2016, at 9 p.m. and October 29, 2016 at 10 p.M. and 10 a.m., respectively, in the United States on October 30 and October 31, 2016 in Australia and October 30, 2017 in Australia.
