Netflix’s new ‘mind-bending’ sci-fi show looks like a must-see for Black Mirror fans

A trailer has been released for the anthology series, which will consist of seven 'mind-bending stories' of 'supernatural sci-fi phenomena'.

Titled Joko Anwar's Nightmares and Daydreams, the new series will comprise of seven episodes and, like Black Mirror, each instalment will present a different story and a new set of actors.

As perhaps could be gathered by the show's title, the project comes from Joko Anwar - the acclaimed Indonesian writer-director behind the acclaimed horror-thrillers Impetigore, Satan's Slaves and Satan's Slaves 2: Communion (all three of which are streaming on Shudder now).

The plot synopsis for the show from Netflix reads: "Venturing beyond the conventional narratives of aliens descending upon Earth, Anwar explores an intriguing premise: What if these extraterrestrial beings were already here among us or even within us?

"Presented through seven distinct, yet interconnected stories across its episodes, each instalment unravels a unique mystery, with each thread leading audiences a step closer to the final showdown."

Anwar and Netflix have also said that the series will blend "the extraordinary with the ordinary, grounding fantastical elements in real-world issues".

Nightmares and Daydreams will land on Netflix on 14 June.
