The first two seasons and the special "White Christmas" initially aired on British Channel 4. Netflix bought the streaming rights from the channel for the first two series and got into agreements with Brooker to make more episodes of the show after winning the bidding war. Three further series and a movie from the franchise were made that streamed exclusively on Netflix.

Each episode takes place in a slightly different reality, with different protagonists battling different sorts of technology. Each story features its own cast of unique characters.
