It comes as no surprise that every episode of Charlie Brooker's dystopian Netflix series Black Mirror intertwine with one another and create a larger story with its expansive multiverse. Brooker has confirmed that every episode is connected, but one fan theory suggests that the production company, House Of Tomorrow, is at the epicenter of the parallels, paradoxes, and story lines that connect each episode and beyond. Even further, it suggests that some episodes may exist in one particular universe while others do not, which creates the multiverse; ultimately, everything is under surveillance from Black Mirror's House Of Tomorrow.
The series is well known for its depictions of technology and how it will lend to the decay of humanity over time. It has never held back on addressing the "White Bear" symbol used to signify surveillance. In more covert ways, various episodes of the series feature a location that resembles the name of season 3, episode 4, "San Junipero," such as the hospital in the Black Mirror film named Saint Juniper's Hospital.
The Black Mirror universe is deeply complex, and fans consistently introduce new theories as to how they are all connected. This theory about the multiverse suggests they are connected only to the extent that the House Of Tomorrow allows them to be. It's entirely plausible that the production studio behind the popular dystopian series may be responsible for the overly meta multiverse.
House Of Tomorrow Controls Everything
It is common knowledge that a production studio controls input and output based on popularity or viewer responses. They are responsible for ensuring that the most perfect product is released to their audience. Throughout the history of Black Mirror, the topic of control is omnipresent in each episode and increases as it progresses. For instance, season 1, episode 1, "The National Anthem" deals with the lack of control audience finds that they have no control and that Black Mirror alongside House Of Tomorrow have stripped them of it.
The theory is entirely plausible due to the fact that it suggests what fans already know; some episodes are connected while others are not. It takes this knowledge one step further by offering the explanation that this is because there are multiple universes that intersect with each episode of Black Mirror; these universes are controlled and managed by House Of Tomorrow. When pop-up shops appeared with comic books and video games that reference popular episodes, the theory extended to the possibility that reality is also a part of the multiverse. There was no indication that Black Mirror had licensed these products, but they were tied to House Of Tomorrow, which, according to the fan theorist, means that the real world is a part of their control, and a larger simulation that they run alongside the series.
This is the only aspect that is not entirely believable due to the fact that it is virtually impossible to argue that one production studio can control the entire fate of humanity. House Of Tomorrow can control Black Mirror, but it cannot control the world. It would involve a deep dive into simulation theory far beyond a television program. Regardless, due to the fact that multiverses and disconnected episodes exist within Black Mirror it makes this theory entirely plausible as well as Brooker's intentions of creating a dystopia where no one truly has control.
