CHARLIE BROOKER TALKS ABOUT 'SAN JUNIPERO' SEQUEL
ReedeFox > 05/09/2017, 15:57
I'm sure by now you are well aware that Black Mirror is returning to Netflix for a fourth season. I bloody loved the third series, especially the 'San Junipero' episode. It's rare to see any Black Mirror episodes with a happy ending but that one seriously tugged at my heart strings.
Fans loved it so much that they were left wondering if writer Charlie Brooker would be writing a sequel for it. Here's what Charlie had to say:
Quote:There were aspects of the story that I took out. For instance, I’d originally written a scene where Kelly is in a kindergarten and there are children there and when you realise what’s going on – it’s that these are deceased children.
It was too sad and too poignant of a note to hit in that story, but I kept thinking about how that felt like a whole world in and of itself. I think we almost might do it in a completely different form if we were doing a straight sequel, if that makes sense. Maybe not even as a normal episode.
We do like to drop Easter eggs every so often in other episodes, so we may be referring to San Junipero again. It’s difficult because I don’t think we’d revisit those characters. That felt like such a story and we wouldn’t want to open it up again.
So there you have it, folks - straight from the horses mouth. You might not get to see Kelly and Yorkie again but we may well get to revist San Junipero again. Here's hoping. -

Reading between the lines of that, and knowing how grim everything he usually writes is. I'm taking it from that interview that the sort of sequel to that episode will bring in the dark and slightly depressing ideas cut from the original. -

I'm hoping he doesn't do it. The episode was perfect and just because it had a happy ending, shouldn't mean that we should want to re-open it and hope for more.
