Relax! The newest installment of everyone’s favorite dystopian Netflix series comes out Friday.
On Thursday the streaming giant dropped the trailer forBlack Mirror: Bandersnatch— which is available Dec. 28 — and thankfully many (but not all) of the questions consuming fans since it was first announced in October have been answered.
According to the synopsis,Bandersnatch, which takes place in 1984, tells the story of “a young programmer [who] begins to question reality as he adapts a sprawling fantasy novel into a video game and soon faces a mind-mangling challenge. Welcome back.”
The show’s Twitter accountposted the trailerwith the caption, “Don’t do it.”

The trailer refers toBandersnatchas “aBlack Mirrorevent,” so it’s still unclear if it will be a feature-length film or just an episode, as theinitial Bloomberg report suggested.
Also, past rumors have speculated that it will be organized in a “choose-your-own-adventure” style — which the trailer alludes to but doesn’t exactly confirm. For example, words at the end encourage viewers to “Change your mind,” “Change your past” and “Change your future.”
According to Deadline,Black Mirrorwill also be getting a complete fifth season — which does not includeBandersnatch— to be released at a later, unannounced date.
A Bandersnatch is a creature of Lewis Carroll’s creation. It was first introduced in a poem theAlice’s Adventures in Wonderlandauthor wrote for the sequel,Through the Looking Glass. In “The Jabberwocky,” the Bandersnatch is described as “frumious” — or ferocious and fierce.
