Black Mirror S6: Loch Henry cast & characters

Here’s your full guide to the full cast of Black Mirror Season 6 Episode 2, ‘Loch Henry’, a gripping dissection of true crime mania.

‘Loch Henry’ doesn’t seem very Black Mirror-y at first. It follows a young filmmaking couple who visit a Scottish town to make a documentary about an egg-protecting vigilante; there’s no nefarious technology, no reality TV trickery, just two people wanting to make a movie.

However, their project completely changes after their discovery of the area’s dark, bloody past, opting to make a true-crime film about the town’s little-known serial killer, with “details so awful they’re irresistible.”

With Black Mirror Season 6 streaming in its entirety on Netflix now, here’s everyone you need to know in the cast of ‘Loch Henry’ and the characters they play.
