"San Junipero" is the fourth episode of the third series of science fiction anthology programme Black Mirror, which premiered on Netflix on 21 October 2016. The episode stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Mackenzie Davis (pictured) as Kelly and Yorkie, respectively, and was written by series creator Charlie Brooker. An optimistic love story, the episode features the introverted Yorkie meeting the more outgoing Kelly at a 1980s nightclub. "San Junipero" was the first episode written after the programme's move from Channel 4 to Netflix and it is more positive in tone than previous episodes. It was inspired by nostalgia therapy and originally featured a heterosexual couple. Filming took place in London and Cape Town, with Owen Harris as director. The soundtrack was designed to evoke the 1980s and hint at the episode's plot twist. The episode received critical acclaim, winning two Primetime Emmy Awards and two British Academy Television Craft Awards.

 * Just to note: there's rumors of Black Mirror special episode date within December - not yet confirmed but it would be late in the month. If we can get that confirmed, it might make sense to run on that day. --M asem (t) 01:10, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The rumour is that "Bandersnatch" is going to be released on 28 December, and indeed I think this will be turn out to be the case. I think it would be great to run the TFA on that day. — Bilorv(c)(talk) 02:17, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't mind changing the TFA, but when will it be known for sure?--Wehwalt (talk) 03:07, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
 * There's a non-zero chance that it'll just be dropped on 28 December without warning (in which case we obviously can't do this), but I'd say it'll either be officially announced by December 14 or not at all. — Bilorv(c)(talk) 12:39, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
