Roll up, roll up, we finally have individual trailers for Black Mirror's trio of new episodes.

Set to drop on streaming-service Netflix on June 5, the fifth season of Charlie Brooker's techno-paranoia anthology welcomes some big stars to the series – and, thanks to the new footage, we've been given a more in-depth look at Miley Cyrus, Anthony Mackie and Andrew Scott in action.

The first of the three – titled Black Mirror: Striking Vipers – stars Mackie as a husband whose wife is trying to get pregnant, but who looks like he could be tempted to be unfaithful thanks to what seems like a Tinder-inspired app.

Next up, Black Mirror: Smithereens features Andrew Scott and Topher Grace, with Scott appearing as a kind of Uber driver who takes someone who works for a company called Smithereen hostage.

There are handguns, non-existent road accidents and even a piggin' Black Mirror Easter egg as 'Prime Minister Callow' can be seen amongst one of the headlines when Scott's character strolls past a live news wall – although we're still none the wiser about Topher Grace's character and how he fits into things.

Finally, there's the trailer for the episode starring Miley Cyrus, which is titled Black Mirror: Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too.

The clip teases Miley Cyrus as a superstar named Ashley who's launching her own range of Alexa-like interactive gadgets.

But this is Black Mirror, so you won't be too surprised to see that it looks like it's not long before 'Ashley Too' achieves sentience. What could possibly go wrong?

Black Mirror will return for its fifth season on Netflix on June 5.
