Netflix fans obsessed with sci-fi horror series dubbed 'the new Black Mirror' packed full 'suspense and robotic terror'
Netflix fans are excited about a new science-fiction horror series that has been compared to Black Mirror.
The six-part show, Cassandra, follows a family who have recently moved into an old smart home controlled by a virtual assistant called Cassandra.
Artificial intelligence helper Cassandra previously served another family at the property.
However, as she integrates herself with the new inhabitants, it becomes clear she does not want to be abandoned again.
It stars Lavinia Wilson as Cassandra, Mina Tander as Samira and Michael Klammer plays David, amongst other cast members.
The new horror's eerie storyline has been compared to Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror, which is similarly dystopian, and hasn't aired a new series since 2023.
