The return of Charlie Brooker's bleak futuristic drama Black Mirror – snapped up by Netflix for its new run – is fast approaching (October 21st), and there are some enigmatic new sneak peek pictures to feast your eyes on.

These are from the episodes San Junipero (starring Doctor Who’s Gugu Mbatha-Raw and the Martian’s Mackenzie Davis, and directed by Kill Your Friends’ Owen Harris) and Nosedive (helmed by Atonement director Joe Wright and starring Grantchester's James Norton, Jurassic World’s Bryce Dallas Howard and Star Trek Into Darkness’s Alice Eve).

Brooker posted the images on his Twitter account:

Your guess is as good as ours as to exactly what's going on in the pics, although the extensive use of mobile phones in the first pair is already a recognisable techno-fear trope from Brooker's series, while the apparent friendship between these two above looks a little sinister for us. We blame Charlie Brooker for turning us into suspicious, paranoid people...
