The BLACK MIRROR Timeline Explained
Ойын-сауық
I review, breakdown and explain Black Mirror Netflix. I discuss Season 6 and give the full timeline of episodes from the first up until the most recent. I go all the way back to 1969 with Beyond The Sea and take it into the future finishing in the year 2100 with Metalhead. I react to all of the easter eggs that pave the way for the actual order of episodes based on time and give my theories and predictions on the time period that they were set in.

Question - do you think Metalhead is at the end of the timeline? Or do you think the dogs were eventually defeated somewhere in the middle of the timeline and civilisation rebuilt and started adopting new technology again? Let me know, i'm intrigued to hear thoughts on that matter! 👀

In "demon 79", when Nida sees Michael Smarts future as a politician, you can clearly see that his actions led to the creation of the dogs. In the future, Michael Smart implements surveilance systems, creates viruses and terrorizes people. On the news in the episode "Loch Henry" you can see that "Michael Smart unveils robo dogs to the police". So basically, metalhead IS the creation of Michael Smart.

i believe there's a clip within an episode in season 6 that is a newspaper that mentions the robotic dog so it would be not completely at the end.

I am sorry to say that but author complitely missed the ENOURMOUS point that episode "Demon 79" makes. When Nida looks at Michael Smarts future, she sees that he causes mass surveilance, creation of the viruses and sophisticated technologies that lead to racial eugenics in "Men against Fire" and creation of robodogs of "Metalhead". (On the TV in "Loch Henry" you can see that Michael smart unveils robodogs to the police. Basically, he is the person that leads to creation of horrific Black mirror distopy.

I hope you guys can excuse my english. I strongly believe that 15 Million Merits, alongside Men Against Fire, are simulations. There is only one episode that actually let us know "hey, you just watched a simulation" and that is Hang the DJ. However, that doesn't mean that they had to explicilly tell us other episodes were simulations too. I also believe that all the simulations were done after the "grain" technology was developed, and simulations are made with digital copies of the conciusness from real people.
I think it’s more likely that they are existing in different universes rather than on a timeline in one universe. Some universes seem to have better technology sooner if for example were thinking that “Beyond The Sea” was set in 1969. They wouldn’t have the technology to use a consciousness into a clone body from space and then 10 years later have “demon 79” without any of the same type of technology. I think they are alternate universes

That could be, but its important to note that in Beyond The Sea the space travel and clone technology was perhaps not privately funded, but rather funded by the government. The government would probably want to keep super-advanced tech away from going public for as long as possible, in order to get big stocks, shares and control in new tech companies once the gov's ahead-of their-time technologies and synthetic implants (like the grain in s.1 ep.3, or the eye implants in Nosedive) is allowed to be expanded and made commercially available. This explains why there is a "break" in publicly available tech between what we see in Beyond The Sea and up to the 2010's

Crocodile came before 15 million merits because it was mentioned the main protagonist was the architect that build the place 15 million merits took place in.
San Junipero must have been around 2040 or later. The main characters are old, probably around 80-90 years old and they are reliving their youth. If they were 20 in the 1980s they will be 80 in the 2040s.

For the White Bear episode at 2:18, we were shown the calendar for October month. Using the information that the 1st of October was Tuesday, we can use Zeller's Congruence to calculate the possible years. I calculated using python and got 29 such years from 1901 to 2097. The relevant years from those are .....1996, 2002, 2013, 2019, 2024,..... So according to the Blackberry release, it must be the year *2013* which is the closest after 2007.

i find it very interesting that in demon 79, the way the demon shows her the future, her eyes did the same thing as the characters eyes did whenever they were looking through their seed in the entire history of you (not sure if it shows up anywhere else, can’t remember rn). but i wonder if theres any link? kinda seems like its maybe a hint at the future technology having a somewhat demonic nature

YES ! Also the politician having his symbol be the demon talisman and the demon wanting him alive points to the White Bear and Metalhead tech being demonic. I think Demon 79 was trying to tell us that we should look at the timeline in a completely different way, with most of what comes after being either done by demons or politicians using demonic tech (which would imply a cult existing in the higher ranks of society).

I think there are multiple timelines at play here, where events from certain episodes effect what happens going forward. Basically if Demon 79 goes 1 way or the other reality splits in two. And possibly further if the ruin is used again. Maybe the rune was used causing the Metalhead apocalypse-as Gaap stated it presents differently. So anytime we are in an apocalyptic scenario it could mean a rune was involved.
Most depressing is that all episodes lead to Metalhead.

15 million merits is a program for all of the cookies after they won liberation and human rights (this is mentioned on a news station in one of the episodes and Black Museum). It does not take place in our world.
I think Man against fire is before Crocodile. This makes sense when you realize tech is often first used in the military. Crocodile is before the Entire History of You. It later introduced the grain. Easier rewatch. Then Arkangel, basically the same but then grain but for children. Then San Junipero, the first addition of cookies (Correct me if I am wrong). In USS Calister and White Christmas (And Black Museum) there are way more advanced types of cookies. So White Christmas came. Everyone had the insane features. Black Museum is around 10 years after White Christmas. When people found out that that technology isn’t that good for humanity. Maybe there are 2 timelines. A sci-fi one and a normal one. 1: Beyond the Sea, History of you, White Christmas, Crocodile, 2: The National Anthem, Shut up and Dance, Loch Henry, I just don’t understand where 15 Million Merits would go. Because it’s so different. Maybe its actually set inside of a supercomputer like in Joan is Awful?

1:46 I now realise there was a continuity error in this episode. You say the the tech was based around 2006, but I noticed the photographer was using a Canon EOS 1D-X, which didn't come out until 2012. (I only noticed because I'm a photographer).
I thought 15 million credits comes after metalheads, cause of that last scene where he makes it to the top and can see what all that work was for, and it’s just endless forest out there, a contained, insane community of humans in a world that’s mostly lost and left to go wild. I assumed there had to be a reason they’re trapped inside, not outside, something out there stopping people from any exploitation of resources beyond the walls of their tower, and no contact with others, just… getting weirder and more whacked out over time

San Junipero could not take place in 2019. Kelly is torn as she was married to a man for 49 years. It would appear that her memories of 1987, she was not married. Which means the earliest he could have died, would have been 2037. They were in their 80s at the end of the film, not their 50s.

There’s actually a theory that there are two timelines happening in the black mirror universe, the human world ei (the entire history of you, crocodile, loch henry, shut up and dance) and the cookie world(15 million merits, nose dive, hang the dj, joan is awful) and the crossovers (white bear, white Christmas, uss calister) I would love to work on a project with you explaining what’s happening in both, for example the development of cookies and cookies gaining rights coincide with hated in the nation and a few others. There’s another piece of tech that has been expanded upon with this 6 season and that’s replicas (beyond the sea, be right back). You can also break the timelines down by the most apparent technology 1 would be current tech (mazey daze, shut up and dance, the national anthem, smithereens) grain development(arch angel, man on fire, uss calister, white Christmas, black museum) cookies (nose dive, Joan is dead, white bear, 15 million merits, hang the dj etc) replicas (beyond the sea, be right back) and cross overs which references tech and the human experience.

Just my thoughts. Very well done
The last times October 1st has fallen on a Tuesday were 2019, 2013 and 2002... so based on this timeline, the episode most likely happened in 2013. Unless you're saying they're using a random calendar that isn't necessarily from the year in question?

Hes dealing with what comes after while Shes not started her ordeal.
I think white bear has been there since the starting which is orchestrating all the events. The white episode was just where they decided to show themself overtly
I think if they're going to end Black Mirror, they should make it a timeline.

I disagree with San Junipero being in 2019, as it doesnt make sense with the characters. Kelly is 73 in San Junipero, and going by the 2019 theory that means she was born in the 40s. San Junipero is built exactly for the elderly to be reimmersed in their youth, their era. If Kelly was born in the 40s, it wouldnt make sense for the 80s to be her era as she wouldve been 40+. Yorkie even said to Kelly when she was in the 2000s that "this isnt your era" so its safe to assume that San Junipero is set in the future where people born in the 70s/80s/90s are now elderly

And I had no issue with the tech in ep 2 being old video cameras or the current true crime phenomenon. I just kind of wish the werewolf thing had a tech explanation. Like even an Easter egg in another ep talking about developing a lycanthropy virus or something might've made that one a little easier for me to swallow. Though, I'll also admit that someone spoiled that episode twist for me before I watched, so my thoughts could be tainted.

@@faureamour totally agree, also i think the demon thing would be easy explainable by just saying the girl was having allucinatinos or something and she was the one behind of all of that.
Ok, is it just me or are the replicas in Beyond the Sea a similar technology of what was maybe used in Be Right Back to bring Ash back? 🤔

True! It could be very similar!
Its strange that dial-up was still being used in 2006 in the mazey day episode since broadband internet replaced dial-up in the early 2000s.

Apart from Crocodile, I agree with the timeline. Crocodile is mentioned in other episodes, so it cannot be that far ahead in the timeline. Pretty sure it came before The Entire History of You.

I was thinking some of the episode was like from 2050 above, it's so advance.
If you want a Tuesday the first of October you'd be looking at 2002 or 2013. Though maybe it's a calendar from a few years ago. :P

Black Mirror’s calendars seem to be one year behind. The Loch Henry murders were set in 1997 right before Princess Diana’s death, but Friday 19 July as stated in the missing poster was in 1996. In 2018 Smithereens, the date on the intern’s Lock Screen as he was trying to get his phone with his foot lines up with the 2017 calendar instead.
Waldo moment must be after 15 million merits because in one of the last scene you can see the girl from that episode in the hot wrath interview

Hang the DJ has to be around the same time as USS Callister, not after, as the front desk lady is using it on her phone.
i assumed 15 million merits involved people’s consciousness inside ‘cookies’ or something like what they did in san junipero but as a punishment
“A physical being” happened long before Be Right Back…in the 60’s…?
Bravo to callow for not quitting his job immediately after the pig👏

Beyond the Sea définilty happens few months before USS Calister. Aaron Paul doesn't have 80 years : he is just playing an old version of Infinity. Having a robot responding in real time to earth is not possible, but playing a sadistic game from sadistic creator, with space fleet as proof, is more real
I definitely don't agree, as i feel many of the episodes take place in 2030, 2045 etc. Undisclosed but definitely more distant future. I also think society shifts like nosedive would take much longer to take hold of our society. Thus I think the show as a whole takes place now from 1969 to as far as 2100+
White Bear is actually in 2013 because the calendar matches up with October of that year.

Good catch ! 2013 or 2019 (I find it hard to believe someone using a phone from 2008 5 years later. So I can't go with 2019 😂)

White Bear: 2008 was a Leap Year, pushing October 1 to Wednesday. In 2007, Oct 1 was Monday. The calendar shows Oct 1 on Tuesday. Easter Egg/Inside Joke?

maybe a hint at the possible demonic nature of technology if used improperly. or maybe it was a simulation/entertainment thing. who knows
I think it’s just a black mirror multiverse and some episodes are connected on the same planet based on the theme of technology in that era?
