John Hillcoat Will Direct an Episode of BLACK MIRROR Season 4

According to The Tracking Board, Netflix has tapped John Hillcoat to direct an episode of the upcoming fourth season of Charlie Brooker's tech-horror series Black Mirror. Hillcoat, who directed The Proposition, The Road, Lawless, and Triple 9, is the latest high-profile director to get behind the camera for this series, following people like Joe Wright (Pan) and Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane) last season.

Hillcoat's episode will be titled "Crocodile," and although no one knows what it will be about yet, word is that it'll center on two female characters and actress Andrea Riseborough (Birdman, Oblivion) is mulling an offer for one of those roles.

In any case, Hillcoat can handle big action set-pieces and totally bleak storytelling with the best of them, so it seems like he'd be a great fit for this great-but-often-extremely-depressing show. We'll keep you posted with more info when we get it.
