If Black Mirror merged with The Twilight Zone, the result would be Inside No 9.
Created by UK comedy duo Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton, the series and its trademark dark humour will return to BritBox in its 8th season with new episodes in August.
Inside No. 9 is an anthology series that has redefined the “bottle episode” concept (for maximum claustrophobia). Outside of Shearsmith and Pemberton in different roles, the only constant is that every episode takes place inside a location that has a “number 9” in it (i.e. an address, a police car number, a restaurant name, etc.). A BAFTA award-winner for “Best Comedy,” the show is known for its genre-bending approach to TV that merges dark humor with macabre twists. This season’s episodes range from a Christmas-themed special taking place in a seemingly haunted church to a startling look at online dating to a send-up of game shows.
Joined in the past by top UK stars such as Sir Derek Jacobi, Keely Hawes, Fiona Shaw, David Morrissey, Rory Kinnear, Sian Clifford, and Gemma Whelan, this season’s group of guests include Samantha Spiro (Sex Education), Phil Daniels (House of the Dragon) Amanda Abbington (Sherlock) and Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing).
