After months of rumour, Miley Cyrus‘ role in season 5 of Black Mirror has been confirmed – and fans have headed online to share their excitement.
Ahead of the show’s arrival on June 5, a new trailer debuted on YouTube yesterday and showed what fans can expect from Cyrus’ debut in the dystopian drama after her involvement was first reported last year.
It appears like a darker version of her Hannah Montana days – with Cyrus seemingly playing a musician with the tricky task of navigating fame.
While it marks an unexpected turn in Cyrus’ career, there’s considerable excitement nonetheless.
“I have a feeling that Miley’s episode on Black Mirror is a darker version of Hannah Montana,” speculated one fan.
Another said: “OMG look @ Miley. I’m so excited for Black Mirror. This is about to be it. She is back.”
