"Black Mirror" creator Charlie Brooker says bringing another season of his dystopian anthology series during the coronavirus pandemic would not be a good move.

The writer said he is unsure if the audience could "stomach" another chapter of the Netflix cult sci-fi show, exploring the negative impact new technology on the modern world, in such depressing times.

Asked about another season, Brooker told Radio Times, "I've been busy, doing things. I don't know what I can say about what I'm doing and not doing.

"At the moment, I don't know what stomach there would be for stories about societies falling apart, so I'm not working away on one of those."
