It is not yet confirmed if these photos have a connection to either of Black Mirror Season 5’s new episodes or storylines, thus fans have to take with a grain of salt. But, in the comments, they strongly believed that it will all end up being seen in the upcoming installment.
Netflix also has yet to announce the official release date of Black Mirror Season 5. But, as the previous season was revealed in December 2017, it is expected to be out at the same timeline.
