Where to Watch Black Mirror?

All seasons of Black Mirror are available exclusively on Netflix. This includes the original Season 1 (2011), Season 2 (2013), Season 3 (2017), and all subsequent seasons. The first two seasons were originally broadcast on British television, but Netflix acquired the global streaming rights years ago. Meaning, you cannot watch them on broadcast TV or other platforms. 

Can You Watch Black Mirror Without Netflix?

Yes, you can watch Black Mirror without Netflix. The Black Mirror series is officially available on Netflix. However, you can buy individual episodes through Amazon Prime Video. Previously, you could purchase episodes through Apple TV as well, but not anymore. 

You can typically buy individual episodes for $2.99 or full seasons for $9.99 – $14.99. You will only find Seasons 1 through 5 for digital purchase. Seasons 6 and 7 are streaming-only on Netflix and are not yet available for purchase on Amazon. 

How to Buy Individual Episodes of Black Mirror Through Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video is currently the best option if you want to own digital copies of Black Mirror rather than just streaming them. However, the Buy button is often hidden behind the Streaming options. Here’s how to buy individual episodes of Black Mirror through Amazon Prime Video: 

• Go to amazon.com and sign in to your account.
• Search for Black Mirror in the search bar. 
• You will see a large banner “streaming with Netflix”. Do not click this unless you want to subscribe to Netflix. Scroll down and look for the Buy button. 
• Look for a dropdown menu that says Buy Episode or More Purchase Options > Format. Click on that and select Prime Video. 
• Select your format.
• Click on the Buy button and confirm the purchase. 

Where to Watch Black Mirror by Region (UK, Canada, Australia)

Regional availability can sometimes cause confusion because Black Mirror began as a Channel 4 production in the UK before becoming a Netflix original. Here’s a brief guide for viewers in the UK, Canada, and Australia: 

Where to Watch The Black Mirror in the UK

You can watch Black Mirror UK on Netflix. Or, you can buy Seasons 1-5 digitally via Amazon Prime Video (UK Store). However, Seasons 6 and 7 remain streaming-only on Netflix.

Where to Watch Black Mirror in Canada

Black Mirror is officially available on Netflix. It isn’t available on Crave, Prime Video Canada, or Apple TV+. Amazon Prime Video or the Microsoft Store might occasionally offer Seasons 1-5 for purchase. However, the selection is more limited than in the US or UK. 

Where to Watch Black Mirror in Australia

Similar to other regions, you can watch Black Mirror on Netflix in Australia. The series is not available on Binge, Stan, or Foxtel. Or, you can purchase Black Mirror episodes through Amazon Prime Video. 

Do You Have to Watch Black Mirror in Order?

No, you don’t necessarily have to watch Black Mirror in order. It is an anthology series. Meaning, every episode features a completely different cast, setting, and even “reality.” Simply put, think of it like a collection of short stories rather than a novel.

Here’s what to know when watching Black Mirror: 

• Each episode is self-contained. Skipping black mirror episodes won’t ruin the series for you. 
• It’s better to watch the series chronologically, as it gives glimpses of a shared universe, especially through the hidden connections in episodes like “Black Museum.” However, this isn’t necessary.
• There is no right or wrong place to start. However, it’s better to start with Season 1 or with some of the less dystopian episodes to ease into the show’s tone.
• Black Mirror isn’t a continuous show. Meaning there’s no chronological way to stream it.

Will Black Mirror Ever Come Back?

Yes, Black Mirror is officially coming back. Netflix officially announced that the series has been renewed for an eighth season. Creator Charlie Brooker confirmed that writing is currently underway.

Moreover, the creator hints that the new episodes will be more Black Mirror than ever. Since writing began in early 2026, a late 2026 release is unlikely. And most industry insiders predict a 2027 release.

Final Note

Black Mirror is officially available to stream on Netflix. While the series was initially broadcast on Channel 4, it now has the official streaming rights and features all seasons, i.e., from 1 to 7. 

However, if you’re travelling and Netflix is inaccessible, then try connecting to iProVPN and logging in to Netflix. It should be accessible, but the VPN will unlock the global Netflix catalog rather than a specific location.
